The ice ceiling in snowboarding has led to inequalities for female competitors on the Winter Dew Tour and other professional events. It has also led to a near dearth of women’s parts in this season’s crop of snowboarding films. That point is something Peepshow is aiming to address with its new all-female film, Winter Wars, premiering online at www.SnowboarderMag.com on January 16 and available now as a $5.99 purchase or $2.99 rental from iTunes. The Peepshow films — Winter Wars is the followup to Let’s Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow — feature top riders like Bryn Valaika, Claudia Avon, Colleen Quigley, Danyale Patterson, Darrah Reid-McLean and Desiree Melancon.

In at least one respect, Peepshow succeeds in proving that men and women are equal when it comes to snowboarding: As brutally illustrated in this lowlight reel from the two films, when it all goes awry, lady rippers slam just as hard as dudes. Enjoy.

If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
