A Tennessee ski area is offering free lift tickets to women in celebration of National Girls & Women in Sports day.

On Wednesday February 5, female skiers and snowboarders will receive a free lift ticket at Ober Mountain in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Ober Mountain is open for skiing from Noon till 9pm on weekdays, so participating guests will receive a ticket for the full duration of the ski day. Rentals and lessons will be available at the normal cost.

The event celebrates National Girls & Women in Sports Day, hosted by the Women's Sports Foundation, which was established in 1974 to "advance the lives of women and girls through sports and physical activity", according to the organizations mission statement. The Women's Sports Foundation is hosting a number of events around the U.S. to celebrate the holiday.

Ober Mountain has 38 skiable acres and 600 feet of vertical drop accessed by three chairlifts. The southeast has had a particularly fruitful season with several resorts in southern states racking up more than normal amounts of snow.

Ober opened a new fixed-gripped quad chairlift from Doppelmayr back in January.

So, in the time honored words of the illustrious Shania Twain: let's go girls.
