Join us on the 3rd floor of the Basebox on Saturday evening to watch “Advice for Girls” a first-of-its-kind ski film featuring an entirely womxn-identifying cast and production crew. When we say all women, we mean all women.

Up-and-coming skier Addy Jacobsend knew that it was time to move forward from the “one woman is enough” mindset. She dreamt of the supportive words she wished she’d heard, penning advice to her younger self. The desire to share those words with as many women as possible grew from a journal entry into the Advice for Girls film.

Jacobsend hopes that the film’s advice from three generations of women in skiing will remind women and girls of all ages that they are worthy of success, allowed to take up space, and are extremely valuable to the ski industry.

Advice for Girls will begin by setting the scene with an inspirational message. It will then dive into the stories of our pioneers, role models, and mentors. Each athlete will be given the opportunity to talk about the good, bad, and ugly parts of their experiences in the ski industry.

The following segments will showcase the power of mentorship and friendship before the film moves on to discuss the current state of the sport. These segments will showcase up-and-coming athletes and all that they are doing to continue the work of the pioneers.

The final segment of the film will introduce young (8-16-year-old) skiers to the audience. These young athletes will represent the next generation and the collective future of female skiers.

The film will wrap up by bringing athletes of all ages together to showcase our bond across generations and our bright future.
