Nikki Otake, 2025 Winter Ambassador
“GRGA’s mission to bring women in the valley together through healthy, empowering activities has truly changed my life. It’s amazing to think how one shared experience can create a bond that carries you through so many adventures.”
Alexandra Williamson
“I felt the camaraderie and spirit of this group - a bunch of women out to meet one another, be social, and do something cool outdoors while getting a great workout on winter evenings - and regardless of my ability, I didn't feel judged; I felt accomplished!”
Samantha Duggan
“It has been an unparalleled experience of meeting badass women with like minded interest in getting into the mountains.”
Cate Brown
“Where we live, it is often intimidating to do certain activities because there are so many Olympians, professional sports folks, etc., the bar is often higher for physical skill…
I am now an AIARE certified individual and feel empowered to plan my own routes & be a leader in future tours, even with a multi gender group.”
Chelsea Cahwee
“I absolutely love it and didn’t realize how much I needed this connection... If you haven’t been to a meet up, whatever level you are, I STRONGLY suggest attending because you won’t regret it! You’ll meet ladies of all different skills who are supportive, encouraging, and most importantly fun.”
