Backcountry Skiing & Splitboarding Mentorship 2021/2022

hello!

Indigenous Women Outdoors is excited to open applications for our 2021/2022 Winter Backcountry Skiing and Splitboarding Mentorship program!

This program is open to all Indigenous women and nonbinary folks who are intermediate skiing and snowboarding riders. It will run from December 2021-April 20222, with a commitment to 2 days per month (1 ski day, at least 1 workshop). You will be provided with Avalanche Safety Training (AST) 1 course, which is mandatory for entering the backcountry. There will be many workshops to further your knowledge in the backcountry including backcountry cooking, navigation, snow science and more, as well as group ski tour/splitboard days to put your new knowledge into action.
