EDGE Outdoors is a powerful initiative created to address the invisibility of Black, Indigenous, Women of Color in snow sports.
Our dynamic initiative that tackles the underrepresentation of Black, Indigenous, Women of Color (cis, trans, queer) in snow sports. Our goal is not only to introduce people to snow sports but to also revolutionize the landscape and create opportunities for women of color to recreate, become leaders on the slopes, and even compete professionally in skiing and snowboarding.
Through our programming and scholarships, we are dedicated to mending past discriminatory practices at the local, state, and federal levels that was purposely designed to exclude Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color from mountain spaces.
We are a Black woman founded and led organization.

Vision
To bring inclusivity to the slopes, bestow equity and justice to BIWOC, promote the normalization of Black and Brown women recreating, working, and leading in mountain spaces.
It all begins with a vision. The EDGE Cycle is a cradle to community program that cultivates inclusivity in snow sports. We begin with an introductory program that leads to advance training in snow sports allowing Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color to then contribute back into the community.
