"Founded in 2019 at Stevens Pass by Annette Diggs, this nonprofit seeks to normalize women of color competing, working, and leading in mountain spaces. Serving Black, Indigenous, and other women of color — including trans women and nonbinary people — and partnered with a major resort operator, it has expanded into California, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. Programming includes ski and snowboard lessons, instructor training, scholarships, and outdoor events for beginners through advanced participants, with an emphasis on building a welcoming community." - Heather Greenwood Davis Heather Greenwood Davis For more than 20 years, Heather Greenwood Davis has been sharing stories that connect travelers with the places they visit.
