Becoming an Outdoors Woman: Skiing for Beginners and Beyond

Becoming an Outdoors Woman: Skiing for Beginners and Beyond

Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) is hosting a downhill skiing workshop in their USU Extension “Beyond BOW” series to introduce women to basic downhill skiing (or snowboarding) in a positive and empowering environment.

Join us for an exciting day of downhill skiing at Eagle Point Resort in Beaver County! Learn the basics of skiing or improve the skills you already have during a two hour lesson with expert instructors. Participants will be grouped by ability for the lessons so whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, there’s something for everyone. After the lesson, you’ll have a couple of hours to practice your newly acquired skills. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enjoy the thrill of skiing in the beautiful surroundings of Beaver, UT. Grab a friend or just plan to meet new friends and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
