Women's Outdoor Connection - Seattle women's event Curious? Watch the recap from Oct 2024. Sign up for event emails. Women’s Outdoor Connection: Where Adventure Begins Together The Women’s Outdoor Connection is more than just a conference—it’s a growing community. Our annual fall gathering in Seattle is a one-day experience where outdoorsy women connect with local clubs, nonprofits, and groups, join inspiring breakout sessions, and walk away with real friendships and future adventure buddies. It’s a place to make new friends, find adventure partners, your people—the ones who get excited about hiking at sunrise, paddling on summer evenings, or trying something new just for the fun of it. Why It Matters So many women think: “I’d love to try that, but who would I go with?” The Women’s Outdoor Connection answers that question with an open invitation: you don’t have to adventure alone. 🌿 “The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.” —Amelia Earhart There’s a science to being outdoors—lower stress, clearer thinking, more energy. And there’s a science to connection—stronger health, resilience, and joy when we share experiences with others. With the support of our partners and women like you, the Women’s Outdoor Connection brings both together, so many women leave feeling uplifted, with benefits that ripple through daily life. The best part is in the words of attendees: “I left inspired and motivated to stay active and involved in the outdoor community.” “The opportunity to meet new people and discover exciting local outdoor organizations was fantastic.” And the impact doesn’t stop at the event doors. Together, we raise funds for Mary’s Place of Seattle, supporting women and families in need. The Heart of It The hardest part is deciding to show up—but once you do, the magic unfolds. Every gathering is filled with those “I’m so glad I came ” moments: the person who becomes your adventure buddy, the experience you didn’t think was for you, the confidence that sneaks up and stays with you. This isn’t about lectures or one-time inspiration. With the annual conference and seasonal events, you’ll always have the chance to: Meet new adventure partners Explore activities for the season Strengthen your connection to nature and to other women The fear of missing out here isn’t about pressure—it’s about possibility. Every time we meet, something unforgettable happens. If you’re not there, you’ll hear the stories and wish you had been. 🌿 The Science of Nature + Connection Two hours in nature per week is linked to higher well-being and life satisfaction. Time outdoors lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), boosts creativity, and improves focus. Strong social connections are the single biggest predictor of long-term happiness and health. Shared experiences release oxytocin—the “bonding hormone”—which deepens trust and belonging.

As young children we would pack up the station wagon, full of gear, my brothers in the 2nd row, and me likely in the back where the seats popped up so I could see the cars drive by as we headed up to Chinook Pass or to Idaho. John Denver was often playing on the 8-track tape player as my parents in the front seat sang “Rocky Mountain High.” I close my eyes I can see it, feel the bumps of the road with the landscape streaming by our car packed full of adventure. As the seasons begin to change in the PNW this scene often replays in my mind, you will catch me humming as the weather starts to change, trees beginning to glow in the first hints of Fall. Oh yes, Winter is Coming! For so many years I ignored the call of the hills, things just got in the way. A career and a complicated life filled with more tragedy than triumph distracted me from its message. As a woman in the restaurant industry, I was in a constant battle to prove my worth. I have always used my body to excel, that is another story. The sad thing was that I had forgotten how much putting on two planks of wood and pointing them down a mountain could fuel my fire. I smile thinking about it now, how different my life has become. My mind is currently full of thoughts of planning yet another day in the mountains in search of a small patch of snow to earn my turns. I sense the excitement of the opportunity to be one with the mountain air. A few days ago, I was speaking to a good friend about what the outdoors means to me. I became a bit emotional as I recognized that when I am skiing, when the tips of my skis are dangling on the edge of a run, I suddenly feel fully alive. My heart is racing, I am a bit terrified as my breathing becomes deeper, my mind hyper focuses on the first turn, dropping into the rhythmic bliss of the wind on my skin. Suddenly I am transformed into the little girl in the back of the wood paneled station wagon listening to my parents sing at the top of their lungs. “Rocky Mountain High, Colorado” and my heart is on fire. Powder Fans, Meet Your Match: Powder Poobah! Featured Sponsor: The Powder Poobah The best PNW snow forecast that you actually want to read. The Powder Alert newsletter is a reliable snow forecast sent twice a week by PNW meteorologists. Skiers and snowboarders in the PNW have relied on snow forecast from the Powder Poobah since the mid-90's. Giveaways, contests, Zoom calls plus sponsor deals and announcements. The forecast includes areas in Washington plus news for Whistler, Idaho, sometimes Oregon and other areas where people like to chase after the snow. Who is the Powder Poobah? Larry Schick, avid skier and retired King 5 meteorologist started this in 1996. Since then, he was anointed the Grand Poobah of Powder, GPOP. Learn more and subscribe!
