SheJumps!

I joined the ladies of  Shejumps
a non-profit organization that aims to increase the participation of women in outdoor activities, and the Boys and Girls Club at Alta on Saturday, teaching some of the older kids how to ski. First off, the event was a huge success, and I’m so grateful that Vanessa and Claire gave me the opportunity to participate in it.
I joined Hannah Whitney to teach a group of more advanced skiers, lapping the Sunnyside chairlift. It was so incredible to see how excited the kids were! I have always loved to ski, but to watch somebody else learn and get excited about it is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever witnessed. It reminded me why I love skiing so much, and that maybe straight lining a pow run isn’t the best idea… The Boys and Girls Club will join Shejumps at Alta again in two weeks and I’m so excited to ski with the kids again!

  1. The SheJumps girls are great. I consider many of them to be very close friends, and I can attest to the good nature of their efforts.

    Rock on ladies!
