Women and The Cresta
Although current rules forbid women riders, it was not always so. For example, T A Cook records that in 1895, various experiments were made by women on the Cresta testing different riding positions on different styles of toboggan; although at that time women riders were encouraged to use only the lower half of the course.
Towards the end of the season there is a Ladies Event in which women compete from Junction by invitation only.

Famous quotes containing the word women:
“... not only do ... women suffer ... indignities in daily life, but the literature of the world proclaims their inferiority and divinely decreed subjection in all history, sacred and profane, in science, philosophy, poetry, and song.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
