Blizzard Tecnica is proud to announce the fourth annual scholarship for women looking to advance their education in snowsports – the W2W Hilaree Nelson Education Scholarship. Whether applicants are interested in avalanche safety, ski instruction, guiding, or other related coursework, the program welcomes applications from introductory courses up to top-level certifications, as to encourage all women skiers to pursue their individual goals. The grants awarded will include coursework fees along with a pair of Blizzard skis and Tecnica boots.
Blizzard Tecnica’s Women2Women (‘W2W’) program is widely considered one of the most committed women’s programs in skiing, closely and continually evaluating women’s products, needs, and lifestyles as they pertain to skiing. Education is a key pillar for W2W and has proudly awarded 51 women with over $60,000 in scholarships and equipment in the first three years of the scholarship program. Seeing the growth in applicants and learning more about their stories, Blizzard Tecnica’s Global W2W Project Leader, Leslie Baker-Brown, feels more confident than ever of its significance to women.
“I’ve been so moved hearing the stories of the women who won W2W Education Scholarships over the last several years. These courses are not only helping them advance their mountain skills or careers, they’re also empowering them in their everyday lives and allowing them to inspire other girls and women to know they can do or be anything they want.”
