Happy International Women’s Day.

At EDGE Outdoors, we are deeply grateful for the community we’ve built together.

From our Learn to Ski & Ride program to intro to backcountry experiences to our Advanced Instructor Training Program and Athlete Development Program, we are committed to creating ethical pathways for women to grow, lead, and thrive in mountain spaces.

A core part of our work is educating our community on how to access opportunities within the snowsports industry, including how to obtain PSIA AASI certifications from Level 1 through Level 3 and specialty credentials, often at no cost through working in mountain spaces.

Because access and transparency matter. And we believe no woman, especially women of color, should face unnecessary financial barriers to leadership in snowsports.

Today, we celebrate the women who are learning, leading, and reshaping the future of the mountains.

And we remain committed to building pathways that move women from their very first day on snow to leadership across the snowsports industry.

✨ REI x EDGE Outdoors ✨

We’re proud to announce our partnership with as they celebrate 10 years of Opt Outside — a movement that reshaped the outdoor industry.

In 2015, REI made a bold choice:
they closed every store on Black Friday and gave 15,000 employees paid time outside.

That decision sparked a nationwide shift, reminding people to spend time — not money — and reconnect with what truly matters.

A decade later, Opt Outside has grown into a community-driven movement.

And now, EDGE Outdoors is part of it. 💜❄️
This season, we’ll be hosting Opt Outside pop-ups across the country, starting with — creating space for our community to learn, ride, move, and feel at home in the outdoors.

Because Opt Outside isn’t just a day.
It’s a choice to belong, to explore, and to reclaim space where we’ve historically been excluded.

✨More locations are coming✨
We can’t wait to see you outside.
