Rossignol Continues Support Of Women Of Winter For The 2021/22 Season

Rossignol is proud to kick off the 2021/2022 winter season with the continued support of Women of Winter (WoW). After a successful partnership with Rossignol in 20/21, WoW partnered with PSIA-AASI for the 2021/22 season to expand their instructor program which is focused on encouraging participation amongst Black and Indigenous Women of Color (BIWOC). For 2021/22, WoW and PSIA-AASI will provide 30 scholarships (up from 6 scholarships in 20/21) to receive PSIA-AASI Level 1 certifications with continued support from Rossignol and other industry leaders.

Deadline to submit applications for this season’s scholarships is this Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021.

“Rossignol is incredibly proud to stand alongside Women of Winter and PSIA-AASI to help foster greater diversity and representation in snow sports,” said Nick Castagnoli, Brand Marketing Director, Rossignol Group North America. “As we all work to create a sustainable future for our industry, one of the most crucial things we can do is to work to create an environment where all feel welcome. Supporting and uplifting underrepresented voices is a critical cause that our Group is committed to addressing through meaningful and sustainable actions.”

A grassroots organization that provides women with scholarships for PSIA-AASI Level 1 certifications, avalanche education, and more, Women of Winter aims to become the change they want to see by creating a community of visible role models, building community, providing education and eliminating barriers to entry. Women of Winter’s mission is to inspire and empower women and girls to get outside, to be courageous, and to boldly embrace and pursue their dreams by carving their own paths in the mountains and in life.

For the 2021-22 season, Women of Winter and PSIA-AASI will host Level 1 certification events for BIWOC scholarship recipients at the following dates and locations: Big Sky Resort, MT March 5-8; Hyland Hills Ski Area, MN February 1-4; Windham Mountain, NY February 7-10; and Eldora Mountain, CO February 7-10.
