"Asking the question takes a considerable effort, a deep breath in. A familiar insecurity is suppressed for just a moment.
Can I ride with you?
Nicole Weaver is familiar with those questions. She used to feel the same way. Itβs one of the reasons she became an ambassador for Womb Tang in the first place.
Expert, intermediate, still struggling to get your boots on. Everyone is welcome at Womb Tang."
"βWhat Iβve focused on is just creating an empowering space within social media because it can be so negative and stressful but so addicting at the same time,β she said. βSo if youβre on it I want there to be something good.β
The three women [Nicole Weaver, Sarah McMath, Clare Chapman] agree that they have seen things improve for women in the skiing community. Just a few years ago, all-female groups were a rare sighting on the mountain. Change is coming β and groups like Womb Tang, Lady Shred, and The Salt Lake Sisterhood are the catalysts."
Rose Shimberg wrote a beautiful article about women in the outdoors, focused on the Wasatch. She spoke to (the local ambassador for .tang), (founder of Alta Lady Shred), and myself (founder of ).
Thank you Rose! And thanks to all the people out there making moves for skiing to be more inclusive, inviting, and empowering. We love you.
