We’re thrilled to see National Geographic covering yet another women’s adventure story. This time they’re featuring Pretty Faces—a Kickstarter all-women’s ski movie project headed up by pro-skier and co-founder of Shejumps.org Lynsey Dyer.
Dyer and fellow veteran pro ladies like Ingrid Backstrom, Elyse Saugstad and Rachel Burks, founder of Femalewolfpack.com, are teaming up to cast female backcountry skiers in a light that better represents their passion for skiing and raw, powerful talent. Dyer decided to start Pretty Faces to show the younger generation of women skiers that they can be themselves and enjoy skiing —they don’t have to be sexy or act like a guy.
“Consider that one out of three girls has an eating disorder.” says Dyer in the article, “Skiing gave me an outlet to get away from all that. I want to be able to give that back so that we can empower the next generation to fulfill their ultimate potential.”

Pretty Faces is still in the fundraising phase and requires $60,000 to be filmed, produced and edited. If you’d like to learn more about this project or support to this inspirational project, check out Pretty Faces Kickstarter page.
