RECAP: Avy 1 Course with JHOLI in Jackson Hole

I had been meaning to take a class for a couple years and jumped on the opportunity early this winter when I signed up for one of She Jumps ladies only courses. It was not only a cl

Recap! Teton Valley WAX&WINE: Get Tuned at Habitat
First off, what an awesome way to kick-off the season! The energy was plentiful, stoke high, and it was the perfect evening to kick off the 2017-2018 season. Sooo many Ladies! The ladies of the Tetons certainly “jumped in” for what was definitely the largest gathering of SheJumps ladies on this side of Teton Pass. We had around 70 people show up throughout the evening–and whether they jumped in to wax and tune their gear or to celebrate and kick off the season, a good time

SheJumps Launches In Steamboat with Women’s Fly-fishing Clinic
Written by: Jean-Marie Bousquet It’s no secret that men have always dominated the fly-fishing world. Women for a long time have been the minority in this field. The industry is fortunate to now have female pioneers like Camille Egdorf, Maddie Brenneman, and April Vokey paving a new path. Thanks to these female leaders, we are now seeing a significant increase of women who want to become involved in fly-fishing. Photo by David Reilly It’s not that we have anything against the

JH Wild Skills 2017 Recap
Written by Lauren Hugo: Regional Coordinator for WY and Teton Valley The Ladies of the Tetons made history on September 23 for our first ever Wild Skills camp for girls in Jackson.

The Bird
Written by: Laraine Martin Nearly a decade ago, I trudged up the saddle of Mt. Massive on an early August morning. I ascended alongside the rest of my trail crew, climbing toward our daily work of rearranging rocks into steps and cairns, confining hiker passage to this well-defined corridor and reducing degradation to the fragile alpine tundra. We began our commute well before sunrise, leaving base camp below the trees with our headlamps glowing and oatmeal churning in our be

A Reminder to Stay Humble
Written by: Anna Bernard I come to face-to-face with the trunk of a tree and with fresh powder nearly up to my neck. Utter silence surrounds me and I slowly rework the logistics that led me here. I am alone, concussed and half-buried in snow, in unmarked terrain. I yell for the people I was skiing with. I yell for anyone. No one comes, and after this I don’t recall much, just the overwhelming thought: I need to get out of here. I am getting out of here. It started as a bluebi

Bringing Avalanche Awareness to the SheJumps Community
Written by: Katherine Jondro, Oregon Ambassador It’s November as I write this. The leaves are still changing in places and the temps are slowly chilling, but there’s snow falling in the mountains and there’s an indisputable buzz in the air. While many are still loving the fall weather, this isn’t for them; this is for all of you powder hounds – checking the higher elevation forecasts daily, snow dancing before bed, and eagerly awaiting your chance to lay your first turns of t

Rockin’ Big Sky Lady Shred in Majestic Unicorn Fashion!
Third times a charm. In this years third annual Big Sky Lady Shred the girls showed their spirit regardless of the less than ideal temps in the morning. The week leading up to the event was 60 degrees and bluebird and was looking good for an epic spring skiing lady shred. Then Sunday hit, and a socked in peak and icy conditions could have changed the energy for the day. Luckily, like the majestic unicorns these ladies are, we had a beautifully fun day that ended in blue skies
