(S)heJumps into the Canyon 2008
SheJumps works with Alta Ski Area to sponsor four camps in January. (S)heJumps into the Canyon camps is a “start-to-finish” curriculum for its participants, that include two classroom sessions to familiarize the teens with the gear, technique, and goals of the program. Local professional and recreational skiers volunteer their time to coach at these camps as well, creating a very unique atmosphere for these local teens that have never stepped into skis before.

Backcountry Tour for the Cure
In 2008, a crew of Salt Lake City "Jumpers" got together to ski a line in Little Cottonwood Canyon to benefit breast cancer research. It started with a two hour hike, then a camp out in the snow (first time anyone had snow camped), and ended with an attempt at "Hypodermic Needle." Due to conditions and timing, it didn't happen but their was no lack of a challenge, fun, and great comaraderie. Photos: Re Wikstrom

Boulder, CO Premiere of Generation Flinga's "Catch Us If You Can"
The Boulder premiere, Feb., 23, 2010, of the first all-girls ski movie, Catch Us If You Can, produced by Sweden-based Generation Flinga, was a hit! There was many "oohhs" and "ahhs" from the crowd of about 50, while they watched Rachael Burks, Lynsey Dyer, Stina Jakobsen, Janette Hargin, Sara Orrensjo, Jennifer Farde and Anja Person huck themselves off cliffs and crush pillow lines. It was truly inspiring. Ski like a girl!
A big thanks to our host, outdoor DIVAS, the first all-womens gear shop in the nation, located on Pearl Street in Boulder, most especially to DIVAS Marketing Coordinator, Marily MacDonald!
Another big thanks to Fortitude Skis in Golden, CO who donated a pair of their women's all-mountain skis, the Rosies, and BaseCamp Packs, who also donated a pack, to the raffle. All proceeds of the raffle went to benefit SheJumps, so that we may continue to encourage women in outdoor sports through clinics, outings and seminars. Thanks to all! —Associate Editor, Leah Fielding

SLC Premiere of "Women of Dirt: Awesome Land"
Our mission at SheJumps is to plan events that get women psyched on the outdoors. In the last year (2009-10), we've put on two movie premieres in the Salt Lake City area ("Catch Us If you Can!" all-women ski movie) and June's "Women of Dirt: Awesome Land" all-women mountain bike movie. It's our goal to bring women together to get psyched on sports, meet new girls to hit the trails with, and enjoy a good film.

Telluride Subaru Freeskiing World Tour Qualifer
Despite minimal coverage and hard landings, everyone really sent it. Most especially, Claudia Bouvier, of Vail, who made up 11 points from a disspointing first day, to score the highest of the men and women on day two. The competition was fierce between the men as well, Travis Wolfe, of Telluride, and Whit Boucher, of Vail, ended the Qualifier just .10 points apart from one another. Props to SheJumpers, Mckenna Peterson and Erin Bragg, who certainly threw down, and skied smooth, agressive lines.

Zion Retreat 2009
Over Labor Day weekend, SheJumps invited its top volunteers and consultants to an amazing camping retreat in Zion National Park. Fourteen women from California, Washington, and Utah converged for some canyoneering, hiking, and teaching—plus eating gourmet food cooked up by Claire Smallwood. Also, backflips, yoga, and hairwraps were on the schedule. The women discussed future programming, and SheJumps solidified its volunteer base to bring its "Jumpers" more in networking, sports management support, and programming to introduce more women to the outdoors.
