The Oakley Girlsessions has got a pretty clear formula - it is about getting together, having fun and pushing the progression of snowboarding and bringing out the talent. Year by year more girls have ventured up to the exotic North of Finland to get a glimpse of this mystical snowpark that gives birth to so many talents. This year a total of 80 girls from 8 different countries of all levels have signed up to participate in the various activities of this event.
