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.
