2024-25 Applications Are Open!
Women of Winter (WoW) and the Professional Ski Instructors Association – American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-AASI) are offering twelve (12) scholarships for the 2024-2025 season, to Black, Indigenous, Women of Color and/or non-binary/gender non-conforming individuals comfortable in women-centered spaces, with an education opportunity to obtain a PSIA-AASI Alpine or Snowboard Level I certification or a Freestyle Specialist 1 (FS1) or Children’s Specialist 1 (CS1) Certification.

The Why
BIPOC women and girls are the most excluded and underrepresented demographic in Snowsports. We are a group of diverse women in Snowsports that want to see a change in our industry. So we are being the change we want to see…and that change is to see more BIPOC individuals participating in the outdoors!
