Scholarship for Women in the Backcountry

Wandering Trails Scholarship for Women in the Backcountry

Who Can Enter

As a member of the backcountry community, Brooke knows that many women are hungry to get further into the backcountry or are eager to improve their backcountry capabilities. Yet, 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, Brooke wants to provide you with the Voile gear you need to start ticking off those goals.

  • Must be 21 years of age or older.

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 Wandering Trails Scholarship for Women in the Backcountry is to enable and inspire the community of female-identifying backcountry enthusiast to have a bigger presence in the mountains.
