 Babes in the Backcountry
Babes in the Backcountry is one of the many companies that has welcomed PeaceLoveSki.com into this wonderful community with an amazing common passion for winter sports. I believe that their mission truly expresses what they are all about. Quote:
Mission: Inspiring connection through outdoor adventures.
Babes in the Backcountry is dedicated to creating inspiring educational opportunities for your body, mind and spirit. As a pioneer of women specific backcountry education, BIB continually strives to develop high quality workshops that not only provide a valuable educational resource, but empower and inspire us in all aspects of our lives. BIB is committed to educating women in a fun, supportive and safe environment.
Background:
Founded in 1996 by 3 Time Telemark Free Skiing Champion Leslie Ross, Babes’ Workshops continue to build confidence and empower female backcountry enthusiasts of varied ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Created to provide a space for women new to backcountry sports as well as for those accomplished in the field, the goal is to learn from female experts tools to take one’s skill set to the next level. Designed for women and taught by women, BIB is committed to providing education in a non-threatening, hands-on, outdoor environment, where questions are always welcomed and encouraged.
Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit
It is our goal to shift how we as humans recreate in the outdoors through bringing awareness to one's body, of not only ourselves, but of the environment in which we play. Through heightening our awareness/senses and developing a sense of place,we have the potential to expand and enrich all of our experiences from walking down the street to backcountry skiing or riding a bike.
Knowledge is Power:
BIB programs address the intimidating factors related to adventure sports and backcountry travel by providing tools and skills to help build confidence. Workshops and trips provide a forum for women to strengthen and enhance their decision-making skills and create an opportunity for women to become less reliant on others and more responsible for themselves.
Why Women's Specific?
Although BIB offers limited coed and couples workshops, we have chosen to focus on women's specific programming to celebrate women exploring their passions. The Babes' workshops help to create a balance in the outdoor community by encouraging more women to become involved in backcountry pursuits. Stepping outside the traditional mixed gender environment, women of all ages have an opportunity to explore themselves in a place void of competition. When women gather, amazing connections occur. These are spaces/containers where women are able to reinvent themselves, reconnect with the strength and power within, and rejuvenate at a core level. Women only gatherings allow women to gain a deeper respect for other women of different backgrounds, ages and interests. Through this coming together, we gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be all “one”- all “connected”.
