VNTRbirds (venture birds) is a women run adventure company based in the heart of the Rocky Mountains specializing in women focused outdoor education and experiences.
VNTRbirds brings women-identifying and non-binary riders (who are comfortable in femme-centered spaces) together to build confidence and self-reliance in the outdoors through mountain biking, backcountry skiing/splitboarding, and community meet ups. VNTRbirds focuses on holistic learning that’s led by women and for women that encourages to own their identities as outdoor athletes in a way that’s inclusive and fun. We provide safer places for learning, mentorship for long term growth, and forums for community and connection with the goal of seeing more women of all demographics on mountain bikes, splitboards, and skis.
