SheJumps x Ikon Pass Mountain Access Program
Building a community of belonging.
Formerly known as the Ikon Pass Scholarship, the SheJumps x Ikon Pass Mountain Access Program breaks down barriers to skiing and snowboarding by providing resources, lessons, and community support for women who want to experience the joy of the mountains.
This program is made possible through the generous support of Ikon Pass, Christy Sports, and Nordica.
Supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion is an integral part of the SheJumps mission to increase the participation of all women and girls in outdoor activities. SheJumps acknowledges the historic exclusion of women, and specifically Black, Indigenous, Women of Color, to outdoor spaces. Our SheJumps x Ikon Pass Mountain Access Program addresses these systems of inequity by generating opportunities for adventure, community-building, connection, and leadership development through skiing and snowboarding at Ikon Pass destinations and in conjunction with the SheJumps community.
Mission of the SheJumps x Ikon Pass Mountain Access Program
The SheJumps Ikon Pass Scholarship program started in 2019 when 8 Ikon passes were privately donated to SheJumps. We’ve since partnered with Ikon Pass to expand the reach of this program to support increased access to skiing and snowboarding, with a specific emphasis on supporting more Women of Color.
The vision of this program to offer affordable opportunities for adult women to gain experience and education in snowsports with an overall goal to increase participation in winter sports and build stronger communities where all women can belong. Our vision is to generate equitable opportunities to enjoy outdoor sports in a supportive learning environment where community and connection are prioritized.
