Avalanche education is expensive. We want to help. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Avalanche education is a barrier to entry folks wanting to explore the backcountry. <\/em>| Photo: Katie Young<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Backcountry skiing is often pitched as an alternative to an expensive ski pass. But, once you add up the avalanche gear, uphill capable gear, and avalanche education, you’re stacking up a solid bill. Not to mention, if you’re a gal, finding other experienced women to go backcountry skiing with isn’t always the easiest thing to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter VNTRbirds.<\/a><\/strong> A women-owned and led organization dedicated to getting women out in the backcountry. Not only do they host avalanche education and mountain medicine courses<\/a><\/strong> for women and non-binary folks throughout the winter, they also offer scholarships to help folks from different backgrounds further their backcountry education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to be a part of this, so we partnered with VNTRbirds to create the Powder7 Skiing for All scholarship<\/a><\/strong>. The recipient receives an AIARE 2 level course, their Companion Rescue course (a prereq for Level 2), along with a $300 gear stipend to spend at Powder7 on whatever they might need. They’ll also get a set of Rocky Talkies, because who doesn’t love radio calls in the backcountry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you, or someone you know, might be interested in applying, you can do that here<\/a><\/strong>. Be sure to check out all the other incredible scholarships they have available, and their events calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
