I still enjoy my solo resort tours. But if VNTRbirds is hosting a group ride, I’m there—and highly recommend you check them out too! Skiing under the glow of a full moon with friends is an experience that you’ll never forget. 

Introducing VNTRbirds’ AIARE Course Leader, Mentor, and Backcountry Educator - Janine Prout

As a seasoned backcountry instructor, here are my top 3 reasons why I encourage you to sign up for your first avalanche education course.

This mentorship scholarship opened my eyes to the vast perspectives of what a community can bring to you and the importance of preserving  those spaces. One of the coolest things I was able to experience was the unity of unique, badass women who were brave enough to be curious.

What an incredible weekend! We just wrapped up the 4th Annual VENTURE OUT Femme Backcountry Festival, and

The mystical Snow Snakes were the bane of my existence in those early days on the snow.

The excitement of gearing up for an AIARE 2 hut trip with VNTRbirds was amped up even further by the storm brewing in the mountains.

I want to express my gratitude for the incredible opportunity provided to me through the Arc’teryx Backcountry Scholarship.
