Vision
To champion equity, foster inclusivity, and create safe environments – physically and psychologically – to empower women to thrive & progress in the world of skiing. We envision a future where every female, regardless of background or ability, feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to pursue their skiing aspirations without barriers and biases.

JOIN THE WOMEN IN SKIING (WIS) MOVEMENT
We’re building a community where women lift each other up — on and off the slopes — and we need YOU to make it happen!
We are currently recruiting for the following roles:
Mentors Certified instructors willing to share their expertise knowledge, confidence, and love for the sport with women just starting out or leveling up. Mentors will support mentees through guided feedback, skill progressions, course-specific preparation and exam readiness strategies aligned with CSIA standards.
Mentees Instructors at any certification level looking to improve, deepen their technical understanding, and build a personalized plan to prepare for upcoming CSIA courses and exams. We’ll pair you with someone who’s been there and wants to help you grow.
Community Coordinators Organize and motivated individuals to become mentors or mentees. You will manage mentor-mentee pairings, coordinate on-hill sessions if applicable and maintain communication across the group to ensure a well-run, supportive program.
Why Get Involved? This initiative is about more than certification — it’s about creating a lasting network of women who support one another’s growth as instructors, mentors, and leaders within the ski community.
Interested in joining as a mentor, mentee, or coordinator? Please complete the link or send us a message with questions. We’d love to have you be part of this growing community.
