On Friday, February 23-26, HerShe Group had its annual Ski Trip at Mammoth. For a lot of our HerShe girls, this trip was their first experience with winter sports and snow.

Our first day at Mammoth was filled with wonderful snow activities (like snowshoeing) by the completely frozen Lake Mary and a Gondola ride through snow-capped mountains while sipping hot chocolate. The night ended with a beautiful three hour-worship service hosted by The Station Camp.

The next day was completely devoted to skiing and snowboarding at Mammoth Mountain. Being beginners, the girls learned how to properly put on skis/snowboards and how to stop and start their boards correctly. By the end of the day, most girls progressed from skiing/snowboarding down smaller bunny hills to larger snow mounds.
The night ended with a delicious Winter Wonderland Luau dinner. The Station Camp successfully brought the warm tropical feel of Hawaii to wintery Mammoth! Before retiring for the night, the girls were treated to a delicious hot chocolate bar and a Karaoke session.

We had so much fun at Mammoth that it was very difficult to say goodbye to our wonderful hosts at the Station Camp. Special thanks to our HerShe mentor, Ta’mur Rasul, for driving us all the way to Mammoth and back. The trip wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for Ta'mur Rasul.
