Mom with a Mission

SheJumps Co-Founder Vanessa Pierce takes on the Snowbird Hill Climb Written by: Vanessa Pierce I love being active. I’m your average weekend warrior, casual evening worker outer and lover of all types of outdoor adventures. I do enjoy a good pain cave in athletics — sometimes — but mostly I’ve retired from being “hard core.” My enthusiasm for pinning my heartrate at 500 bpm started to wane after I graduated from college. I figured as a D-1 soccer player, I ran almost 500 mile

Jump Camp at Olympic Park

Written by: Jen Fredsall, SheJumps Ambassador It’s that time of year again! No sadly not the beginning of ski season. But we did get to put on skis at the Utah Olympic Park and jump into the pools! But first, we needed to practice on the trampolines where everyone progressed to trying front flips! Then it was off to the ramps where new friends were made and fears were conquered!

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

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
