💌 A love letter from @snowdump 

I fell in love with skiing at 12 years old, skiing on a tiny single T-bar city-owned hill that was walking distance to my childhood home with second-hand skis I saved up to purchase myself. I have been passionate about sliding on snow ever since. 

But no matter how much fun I had, there was always someone or something making me feel like I was not part of the club... 

I tried my best to fit the mould but could never really become part of the “cool dudes” ski club. I befriended the “radical” snowboarders and prided myself on not being a “typical” skier.

This approach worked for a while, but eventually snowboarding would transition into the mainstream and having fun seemed to matter less and less. Also, around this same time, a lot of my shred buddies were getting older, married, having kids, and settling down, so I found myself riding alone.

At this point, I started to look for a new community online and through women’s ski camps. I figured there had to be more people like me out there.... And, there totally was.

Coalition’s Facebook groups and post comments sections were some of the first online community space where I saw and met other women as passionate about snow sports as I am.

When I bought my first touring setup, I opted for a pair of La Nieves. I loved them sooooo freakin’ much that I absolutely wanted to be involved with the company that made them... and well, after a few DMs, the rest is history!!

I’ve been an Ambassador with Coalition since 2018, and these past 8 years have been some of the best of my life. It will be hard to imagine my life not being an ambassador for a kick-ass ski brand, but looking forward to the next chapter and supporting whatever @yogurecki has in store next ;) by @snowdump

Snowsports are increasingly out of reach for more and more people 😞

I started skiing back in the early 90s when $10 lift tickets were a thing, and when used equipment was just about the same as my birthday and christmas cash combined... my parents couldn't afford to support my newfound love of skiing, so it was mostly on me. As a teenager, I could realistically save my money to go ski and upgrade my equipment as needed - but sadly, this is just not the situation for most folks anymore 💔

So what can be done? How can we collctively help? 

@coalitionsnow 's pay-what-you-can sale is actively breaking down financial barriers so those who need it most can gain access to sweet high-quality gear at affordable prices.🏆

This sale is for everyone - not just those who can’t afford to pay full price. Anyone who is able to and can pay full price (or close to full price) will unlock an offer for someone who has less money to spend on new skis
and boards ✨️The humans that can pay more will help us help others who need it 🫶

Ps - Stoked and honoured to be an ambassador for such an amazing company 💖 I legit lost it when i heard we were doing this!! #paywhatyoucan #communitycaresale

Let's work together to help make what we love to do more accessible to all 🍻 by @snowdump

I started skiing when I was 12 - saved all my birthday and Christmas money and bought my first pair of skis at a small second-hand store, in Sudbury Northern Ontario. ❄️

I put all my gear on and eagerly took the t-bar (only lift) to the top of our small hill.... and after a couple of runs, I could snowplow the whole way down (all 240ft of vertical)!!! Shoutout to Adanac ski hill 🎿

Needless to day, I fell in love immediately and have been passionate about skiing ever since ❤️

However, no matter how much fun I had, there was always someone or something making me feel like I was not part of the club... 

I tried my best to fit the mold, but could never really become part of the 'cool dudes' ski club. I befriended the 'radical' snowboarders and prided myself on not being a 'typical' skiier. 💅

This approach worked for a while, but eventually snowboarding would transition into the mainstream and having fun seemed to matter less and less, with doing backies and dripping cliffs being the new standard (just like skiing - ewww). Also, a lot of my buddies were getting older, married, having kids, and settling down, so I found myself riding alone 🙃

At this point, I started to look for new community online and through ladies ski camps - I figured there had to be more ppl like me out there.... And there was ✨️

I am so grateful for @wwhitelips taking me in as the first anglophone to participate 🙏 It  was one of the first places I saw and met other womxn as passionate about snowsports  as I am.

Shortly after that, I bought my first touring set up - @coalitionsnow la nieves. I loved them sooooo much that I absolutely needed to learn/more about the company that made them... and well, the rest is history 😊

I've been an ambassador with Coalition Snow since 2018, and I am beyond grateful for the growing community of like minded womxn and underrepresented genders they continue to support 🫶 So thankful and full of gratitude for this team and community.

🏷 Ps - There is a site-wide and in-store sale happening at Coalition Snow this week (up to 25% off) 🔗 Link in Bio
