SheJumps Bike Clinic at 2nd Track Sports
The guys at 2nd Tracks in Salt Lake have done it again! We had a great bike maintenance clinic lead by Tim. He answered all of our questions from changing a tubeless and tube tire, to what essentials should be in our pack. (Don’t forget extra CO2 cartridges!) He also helped us with what checks we should do before a ride and how to lube the chain properly. We’re all now armed with the tools to take care of our bike and how to fix it on the fly! HUGE thanks to our partners

SheJumps + Mountain Madness Crevasse Rescue Clinic Recap
Written by: Krystin Norman, SheJumps Seattle Ambassador Spring in the Pacific Northwest is gaining speed (and sunshine!) after a long and amazing winter full of powder days at the resort and less backcountry skiing than we had originally planned because riding the lift was too convenient.

Why we heart spring skiing
Written by: Anna Bernard It’s not the best snow. Granted, it’s likely some of the worst snow out of the entire season, yet by spring, the slopes are somehow still packed. Whether people are shredding slush or lounging at the lodge, it’s more likely than not to see some dressed in beach wear – anywhere from Hawaiian tees to a bathing suit that probably should have never left the beach. The atmosphere is undeniable. The sun is out, goggle tans are in full swing and somehow peop

Rock Climbing at Urban Ascent
On a sunny Saturday morning in April, 7 women turned up at Urban Ascent, a local climbing gym, to test their strength and bravery. The staff at Urban Ascent graciously opened their doors outside of business hours to accommodate the SheJumps crew. After a brief tutorial on technique and safety, the women were released to explore the gym at their own pace and skill level. It was inspiring to see the women encourage each other to go outside their comfort zone and try routes that
