Outessa Kirkwood: Inspiring and thought-provoking

Outessa is an inspiring and thought-provoking gathering of women who love the outdoors. Here’s what our executive director and co-founder, Claire Smallwood, had to say about the event. My journey to Outessa began when I received an invitation from the event organizers to speak on the Force of Nature panel. My heart skipped a beat when I read the email—it was an offering of recognition for our work with SheJumps and the opportunity to participate in a larger conversation about

Jumping in to building skis and boards

If you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Disappointed with the selection of women’s ski and board gear available on the market, the women behind Coalition Snow took things into their own hands by launching a company that designs gear for women by women.

OCSC Women’s Moonlit Sail

They swayed. Their vessel was like a dancing mermaid, bravely gliding right and left, rolling forward with the world’s natural singing breath – the wind. Caught in cool air, beneath an open sky of stars, and above the depths of ocean water, the mermaid swayed.
