Project description

It’s a Girl’s World is series of female focused programming aimed at introducing girls to action sports. Working with the US Ski & Snowboard Team and Woodward Park City, it delivered events during the 19-20 season. First, it partnered with Olympic gold medalist Kikkan Randall to deliver a “Fast and Female” event, bringing together over 100 girls to run drills and play games with elite athletes, teaching them that girls can be strong athletes. It also put on a two-day event with Woodward Park City to teach girls tumbling and trampoline skills, which they then brought to snow.
