Establish a Community Beyond visibility, community creates belonging. Our PSIA-AASI Level I Course and Exam is composed entirely ofBIPOC women, serves as incubators for community-building and collective growth. These cohorts provide a foundation for lifelong relationships and peer mentorships on and off the snow.

Educate Within our Communities We strongly believe that education affords us the skills, abilities and confidence to stand in our truth and own ourauthority. We want to empower women and girls to feel comfortable on the hill. We want to foster and supportchange-makers. We want to get BIPOC women and girls on the hill and provide them with the education to feelconfident in their skiing and snowboarding skill sets. Many of us at Women of Winter are ski and snowboardinstructors who have worked in resorts around the world.
