Building Female Community On the Mountain With a Little Help From SheJumps.Org

on February 7, 2012 in People of Inspiration

Calling all of the female gender…this weekend is your chance to get together with other like minded ladies that enjoy the mountains.

SheJumps.org, a nonprofit increasing female participation in outdoor activities by building upon a supportive community that inspires its members to reach their highest potential, has organized this opportunity for bonding, the GET THE GIRLS OUT campaign. Created to bring the community of female skiers and snowboarders together on mountains across the country, if not the world, for one day, the inaugural event is scheduled for February 11, 2012. Women all over the country will be encouraged to utilize the resource of the SheJumps community to celebrate their love for the mountain lifestyle by taking the mountain by storm with new and old friends in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Once per month for the remainder of the ski and snowboard season, SheJumps Chapters across the United States will be hosting informal gatherings on the slopes, both with and without costumes, to GET THE GIRLS OUT and grow the community of women in the outdoors!

Here are the participating ski areas and meeting times for the February Get The Girls Out (please contact the head lady for more information):
