Cross country and cyclocross don't have any problem attracting the ladies.
at least here in Co the womens's mtb scene seems to bring decent turnout. Theres an annual women's only mtb race called the Beti Bike Bash that had a large turnout last year. Cyclocross Nats in Boulder had huge womens entry.
