Self Supported Splendor
This One Full Day winter project will be spent either snow-shoeing/xc skiing or a combination of both! We will be self supported for approximately 10K with the ability to hone skills, break out into ability groups or enjoy a leisure stroll surrounded by the breathtaking pines and firs of our local area! We will supply light lunch to pack yourself and hydration packets sponsored by LMNT. You need not be an expert skier or even have been on ski’s prior to this event. We will have guides present.

From The Founder,
When Alongside WVO came to fruition in April 2024 we were established for the female combat veteran. Since that short time, I myself came to the realization that there was an extremely important group of women that could not be omitted. The spouses of these Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen. The First Responder Women and the wives of First Responders. We Have More In Common Than We Don’t.
Children of The Iraq and Afghanistan 9/11 deployment era, We See You, you are our priority launching April 2026!
