Welcome to year five of the Blizzard Tecnica W2W Hilaree Nelson Education Scholarship Program.
We are excited to support women and non-binary identifying individuals in their pursuit to further their education and knowledge in snowsports.
We see education, a key pillar of the W2W program, as a way to empower and instill confidence in women to pursue leadership roles and achieve their personal goals.
Hilaree Nelson: 1972 - 2022
“It’s much easier to be something when you see a path put down by women before you.”
Hilaree lost her life as she attempted a descent of Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world on Sept. 26, 2022.
Her untimely passing has left a void in the outdoor and mountaineering community, as Nelson was not only a remarkable athlete but a beacon for women across the globe, inspiring them to break barriers and accomplish incredible feats in the outdoor world.
We named our scholarship program in honor of Hilaree Nelson in the hopes of passing on her legacy to future generations of women and establishing more female leaders in the outdoor space.
We will be awarding financial support to women for educational opportunities, ranging anywhere from introductory courses to top level certifications, as well as a pair of Blizzard skis and Tecnica ski boots. The number of scholarships to be awarded is dependent on the requests and will be determined after all applications have been received.
APPLICATION: Nov. 19 - Dec. 19, 2024
