The Voile Scholarship for Women in the Backcountry is back again for the 23/24 season! We’re so excited to be offering this Scholarship for the FIFTH year in a row. This time around we’ll be opening the scholarship for entries on Thursday, February 8th, and closing it on Friday, March 8th (International Women’s Day). Winners will be announced the following week.
Who Can Enter
Many women are hungry to get further into the backcountry. Many face barriers: such as lacking the necessary equipment to take it to the next level. Whether you have never skied, are looking to transition from resort to backcountry, or are seeking to progress from mellow touring to tackling mountaineering objectives, we want to provide you with the gear you need to start ticking off those goals.
Why “Girls Only”
Our goal isn’t to limit, but rather to help bring balance to gender representation in the backcountry. The purpose of the Voile Scholarship for Women in the Backcountry is to enable and inspire the community of women or woman-identifying backcountry enthusiasts to have a bigger presence in the mountains.
