The third annual “(S)he Jumps into the Canyon” has once again been a huge success! An event created to empower teens to get into the beautiful Wasatch Mountains! This even introduces inner city teens to the passion of skiing from professional and recreational female coaches! It was awesome to experience the community working together to show these kids some real outdoors! Thanks so much to the sponsors Alta Ski Area, a North Face Explore Grant, Billy Poole Memorial Foundation, Solitude Mountain Resort, The Deep Powder House, Alta Ski Shop, and The Alta Peruvian lodge. We couldn’t have done it without you! It was an honor and a total blast coaching some appreciative and enthusiastic teens~ CHeck out upcoming events from She Jumps at www.shejumps.org
Over 65 women showed up to the She Jumps Beacon clinic today!

Saturday December 19th, @ Our Lady of the Snows at Alta. Doors open at 5:30, show starts at 6!
the first and only US Premiere of Generation Flinga’s “Catch Us If You Can” presented by SheJumps!
Generation Flinga is a posse of girls who made an all-girl ski movie last season. Former alpine racer and member of the swedish national team Janette Hargin and freerider Sara Orrensjö started the project in May 2008. Stina Jakobsson and Jennifer Farde tagged along during the autumn. And the other great riders are Lynsey Dyer, Rachael Burks, Grete Eliassen and the amazing Anja Paerson.
The girls traveled around the world to the U.S., Japan, Russia, the Alps and Scandinavia filming, competing, shooting and having a great time. Check out the U.S. premiere at Alta (one of the filming locations) and support SheJumps, too!
