Vania&#8217;s transparency in their personal journey was powerful, from snow sports feeling inaccessible in their youth, to climbing being a reprieve from depression. We want to thank Vania for sharing their intimate story with us.  We have a lot of respect for Vania and are excited to help Vania achieve their goals!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-Womxns-Backcountry-Scholarship-Recipient-V3-edited.jpg\" alt=\"20\/21 Womxn's Backcountry Scholarship Recipient- Vania Wang\" class=\"wp-image-4357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-Womxns-Backcountry-Scholarship-Recipient-V3-edited.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-Womxns-Backcountry-Scholarship-Recipient-V3-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-Womxns-Backcountry-Scholarship-Recipient-V3-edited-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-Womxns-Backcountry-Scholarship-Recipient-V3-edited-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Vania Wang <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vania&#8217;s Essay<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow sports have always held a special allure to me. I&#8217;m a competent rock climber, but I&#8217;ve dreamed of expanding my skills towards ascending snow and ice. Growing up in an immigrant household, snow sports were viewed as inaccessible and expensive. Though the interest was there, I wasn&#8217;t able to experience snow sports because of its high cost. Given the Brooke Jackson Scholarship presented by Voile, I finally see an opportunity to learn backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering. Additionally, I see this scholarship as an opportunity to further expand snow sport access among historically marginalized populations. I&#8217;m currently a fourth-year PhD candidate studying human movement behavior and HIV service provision across East Africa. Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was living in Malawi implementing my dissertation research. When the virus became an emergent threat, my partner and I evacuated within a 24 hour notice. Since returning to the United States, we were faced with a number of challenges including confronting a terminal illness of a close family member, being unhoused, and having no stable income. What held me together was climbing. I&#8217;m an avid trad climber and boulderer; and I deeply enjoy training for my climbing pursuits. Even while unhoused, I was able to train by using a portable hangboard and performing weighted pull-ups. Climbing kept me from my deepest depressions. Now, my partner and I have relocated to Oregon. We are in a stable living situation, and I&#8217;m again able to dream towards peak bagging and alpine ascents. Although I\u2019ve traversed the Enchantment Lakes region in Washington State during September, I have coveted an ascent of Mt. Prusik during the winter. I imagine skinning up Aasgard Pass during the pre-dawn morning, climbing four pitches of pristine granite, and finishing the day carving down Aasgard Pass. That would be an incredible day. To expand access to snow sports, I\u2019d mirror my experience volunteering with Climb Malawi, a non-profit aimed at building a local and inclusive climbing community in Malawi. Where many expat climbing communities can be racially exclusive, Climb Malawi\u2019s goal was to encourage psyched Malawians to be route developers, climbing trip leaders, and climbing instructors. I had taken the AMGA SPI course, and was practicing to become a Single Pitch Instructor, so I helped train Malawians to be competent belayers and climbers at single pitch crags. Together with Malawians, we also developed a new bouldering area near the capital city of Lilongwe. Just prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were in the process of involving the villages surrounding the bouldering crag to provide a guiding, housing, and tourism infrastructure for the area. Although I helped contribute my knowledge and time towards Climb Malawi, I only make up a tiny subset of the aggregated effort that helped develop and sustain rock climbing in Malawi. The continued success of Climb Malawi&#8211;even through the COVID-19 pandemic&#8211;is largely driven by the hard work and consistent dedication of a small cadre of Malawians and expats. Together, they solicited pro deals from gear manufacturers, collected donations from expats, and volunteered evenings to staff the climbing center. As a future snow sport athlete, I aim to help expand winter sport access in a similar way as Climb Malawi: to pursue a collaborative and community-based approach towards inclusivity in the outdoors. But first, prior to leading, I need to become a competent, skilled, and safe backcountry skier. I\u2019m confident that the Brooke Jackson Scholarship is the first step towards achieving these goals.<\/p>\n\n\n<style

The snowfalls were only these magical events with tiny white spots I could only experience through movies and documentaries. Even through a T.V. screen, these landscapes covered in these white layers had the power to spark this silly excitement driven by curiosity. Once I moved to the United States at the age of 14, my main focus became about learning a new language and adapting to a new environment and less about exploring. Now I was surrounded by hundreds of buildings and cars and extremely fast life. Once I moved to college in Merced, California; I became determined to look for every opportunity that would allow me to spend time out in nature. Eventually, I was fortunate to spend a summer in Yosemite National Park as part of the YOSAR team which served as an inspiration to create a capstone project within my community working with high schoolers with underserved backgrounds. Witnessing the joy that being outdoors for the first time had brought to every participant, made it clear to me that I wanted to continue my studies in conservation Biology after completing my B.S degree in Human Biology. Now in grad school, my research involves the study of bacterial communities living inside and outside plants present in forest ecosystems. 60% of the time is spent collecting samples in the backcountry during different seasons. This means not only being exposed to long hours in the field but as well to different conditions such as very high or low temperatures, rain, mud, and snow. I personally, enjoy all the unpredictability that comes with being out in the field, making it every time a different experience with very different lessons to learn no matter how prepared you think you might be. The winter of 2019 was my first time having to do fieldwork during a snowy day in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which meant I would finally get to experience snow! But also, I would be required to backcountry ski for the very first time ever to my collection sites. Getting to ski has been one of the most challenging activities, as someone that mostly hikes and is used to warm temperatures but at the same time, one of the most beautiful and exhilarating ones which tested both my patience and endurance. As an immigrant Latinx, I have been constantly finding avenues to be able to immerse myself in outdoor activities such as hiking and backpacking through internships and borrowed gear. Owning my very first skiing gear would be a necessary tool to complete my fieldwork throughout the course of my doctoral degree; but also, would provide me with the access to enjoy white snowy mountains in a community that still has many barriers to individuals with similar backgrounds as mine. I am excited to take upon more challenges and experience many split boarding trips, many snowboarding falls, but plenty of more lessons and more sense of belonging within the backcountry community.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">a.eg-henryharrison-element-1,a.eg-henryharrison-element-2{-webkit-transition:all .4s linear;   -moz-transition:all .4s linear;   -o-transition:all .4s
