Introducing: Outdoor Women's Alliance



Have I introduced you yet to the wonderful world of women and the outdoors?

Outdoor Women's Alliance (OWA) serves women of all abilities in "providing outdoor opportunities... focusing on non-motorized activities outside of cities: hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, rock & ice climbing, biking, trail running, etc." In addition to providing some incredible adventures, OWA also features up-and-coming female athletes & writers in the outdoor sports arena and posts gear reviews to help those in search of getting outfitted with the perfect harness, climbing pants, powder skis, etc.

OWA recently joined the Twitter world and is already being recognized by some of the most prominent companies and nonprofits in the outdoor industry. Some of their followers and fans include: Mountain Hardwear, OR (Outdoor Research), NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School), Leave No Trace, Petzl, FiveTen, Probar, Banff Mountain Film Festival, SUWA (Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance), The Alpine Institute, Keen, Salomon, Montrail... whew... do you need more convincing?

*Everyone is welcome to participate on any level they choose... Are you an expert on the latest ski gear and would love to share that knowledge as a gear reviewer? Maybe as an outdoor enthusiast you've been searching for a group of like-minded women with whom you can hit the trail and local crag. Perhaps you've had a dream outdoor adventure you've been wishing you could make reality or have a deep passion for a specific activity and would love to bring others into the fold. Even if you'd simply like to read up on some of the best known (and unknown) female athletes in the world, Outdoor Women's Alliance wants you to make yourself at home.

For more information on getting involved, send an email to: info@outdoorwomensalliance.com


Now you've been introduced... what will you bring to the adventure?
