Our New Blog!!
Welcome to your blog! This format will provide women from all over the world who are working in the snow and avalanche industry to share stories, seek advice, network, provide mentorship and to connect - at least until we can meet in person at the next ISSW.
We have recently purchased the domain, www.avalanchedivas.org and are looking for sponsorship to fund a simple website. We need $500 to get it going and $85/year for hosting fees. Please let me know if you know of any companies or organizations that may be interested in powering our site!!
And as you know, Leslie and I are looking for a couple of gals to take over planning the Divas Night Out for the next ISSWs in Davos (2009) and Squaw Valley (2010).
We look forward to seeing how this evolves!
Cheers,
Nicole Greene
