SheJumps!
MISSION
Our mission is to increase the participation and presence of women in outdoor activities. Through the mentorship and coaching of professional and recreational outdoor athletes we will empower women of all ages and children to realize their potential in outdoor sports and beyond.
Our vision is to grow support of environmental awareness, recognition of the fundamental importance of fitness and creating the inspiration needed for our members to “jump” to reach their potential. SheJumps invites all women and children to participate in the celebration of the outdoors through organic involvement of mountain cultures around the world.
SheJumps Values
I wrote these a while ago, thought I’d post ‘em up again for a reminder of where we came from!
Some of these things might seem related and some of them might not, but the point is that together they make for a foundation that will keep us all strong!
Bag the B.S.
It’s not fair to whoever raised you—mom, dad, fairies or tree nymphs—to naysay yourself in regards to what you are capable of doing. Believe in yourself and have patience and respect for your abilities or limitations but above all, don’t beat yourself up!
But use fertilizer…
Based on the idea that you won’t be ragging on yourself, take opportunities granted to you to make others around you feel valued, too. Maybe if a friend falls (proverbially or otherwise) it’s an opportunity to step in and make a team effort to work around the problem.
It’s 90% mental and 10% physical.”
Always try again. Always.
Breathe deeper.
Eat your fruits / Veggies (Farmer’s market or organic if you can!)
DO ONE THING EVERYDAY THAT SCARES YOU!

The intent of the women at SheJumps is pure love for everyone and for the mountains. They strive to bring that love and geography to people who might otherwise not have such opportunity. They dignify their sisters worldwide by proving what they, as women, can do. And they offer to share that love, that grit, that wisdom, that endurance to make something out of what is the long haul of life with anyone willing to share the ride.
In recognition of the women of SheJumps and their mission, it’s a pleasure to make a special ski for them, one that hails their name and expands their legend in the Wasatch Mountains and and on skis worldwide. The women that ride the 179 Lhasa Pow SheJumps ski continue to grow in numbers. They say they feel like it’s truly a women’s ski that rails both powder and groomers, while excelling in powder and crud. That couldn’t make me more stokified. Try a pair, buy a pair. We throw down 10% of every sale to the girls at SheJumps so they can keep on doing what they do.
