Full Moon Film Fundraising Event @ 49th State Brewing

On Feburary 14th at 49th State Brewing in downtown Anchorage, we held a fundraiser in hopes of rasing enough money to be able to take the Boys & Girls Club of Mountain View skiing at Hilltop.

Alyeska International Womens Ski Day 2018

Twenty Ladies gathered near the base of the tram at Alyeska before the mountain opened. We were able to meet new people and discuss everyones’ goals for the day. We geared up and were full of stoke when we were spit out into a classic Alyeska low visibility cloud. Following each others bright colors and toutous we found clarity on the lower mountain. It was here we were able to focus on steep turn skills and finding our edges while maintaining a ride on our skis. Maeve La

Dream Line

Written by: Meg Smith Ever since I was a teenager in junior high I’ve dreamed of skiing big steep Alaska lines. Born and raised just north of Philly that dream seemed pretty far out of range. Sure enough 11 years later I had figured it out and made my way to living in Alaska. Everyday I live here I drool over amazing aesthetic ski lines that are enormous. A lot these lines I look at are extremely intimidating, “don’t fall or you will die” lines. There is one line on one parti

Recap – Ice Climbing Clinic in Valdez

Written by: Emily Escapule Women took their past valentine revenge out on the ice this February 14th as SheJumps held a beginners ice climbing clinic at the Valdez Ice Climbing Festival in the iconic Keystone Canyon. Ice Climbing is a particularly challenging sport to try for the first few times because of its gear intensity, inhospitable settings, and intimidating nature. But that didn’t stop the women of Alaska, for over 40 women came out, many of which swung picks for thei

Snow Sisters 2015 With Ashley Maxfield

Written by Ashley Maxfield, winner of the Snow Sisters trip raffle How do you sum up the trip of a lifetime? I can remember where I was in October when I got the call. I was standing on top of a roof, trying to make some extra money for the ski season. I had no clue who was calling and almost didn’t answer, but the women on the other end of the phone delivered the best news I have ever heard. She let me know that I won the SheJumps raffle, with the grand prize of a 10 day tri

Alaska Youth Initiative: Boys & Girls Club learn to ski!

What do you get when you put 27 “never-ever” skiers and 8 volunteer ski instructors in one small rope tow area at the same time? Mayhem. Mayhem of the best kind, but still mayhem. Children grabbing a rope tow and falling over, being drug on their stomachs with skis behind them since they don’t know to let go, instructors trying to help, chasing after them to get them back on their feet, perhaps escorted up by another instructor for the next try. Teaching one to make a pizza,

Whitewater Kayak Clinic – Anchorage, Alaska

This past Tuesday, 13 Alaskan women came together for a SheJumps Far North whitewater kayaking clinic. It turned out to be an extremely warm, gorgeous day! Who would have thought we’d be with a group of amazing women wearing bikini’s in a lake in Alaska rolling kayaks?! We started off the clinic by learning how to properly outfit yourselves into a kayak. From there we all got on the water and learned different paddle strokes, plus when to use them on the river. After paddling
