Kait Burds on LinkedIn: One of the bigger challenges I’ve faced. The old saying “If you want it… (2024)

I’ve always seen myself as my own boss one day. This past week Ive gotten one step closer to that as I launch my first ecommerce endeavor on Etsy. Iron Lady + Co. is inspired by my own journey, as one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that you are only as good as your group. So here’s to me and my growth and the village that got me here. 🍾https://lnkd.in/gs_EaYWW

Last week a group of veteran woman and ski industry representatives assembled at Mount Hood Meadows for our second annual She Groom’s event. Other veteran woman and industry newbies ascended upon Mount Hood- some for the first time, some regulars- to network with other industry professionals, swap stories, gain knowledge and improve skill! The takeaway? This event was and is going to continue to be a huge success! We truly cannot wait to see what the future holds! I’m so thankful for Mount Hood Meadows and their very own Allison Marriner for fostering this idea into reality last year. Thank you to all our amazing sponsors:Kässbohrer All Terrain Vehicles, Inc.
