Testimonials

At the same time I moved to Fairbanks, I accepted a remote job and began working from my home. Working remotely, coupled with living in a city, made for a lonely start to my time in Alaska. Community has always been an important part of my life, but for several months, I struggled to find a community in Fairbanks – until I attended my first Rove Co meetup. In November of 2022, I attended my first Rove Co cross country ski meetup, and these meetups quickly became a part of my weekly routine. Not only did I meet like-minded people who share a similar passion for getting outdoors, but these meetups provided the motivation I needed to get outdoors during the deepest, harshest months of winter in Alaksa. Since last winter, I have developed an incredible network of friends through Rove Co and Rove Community has become an integral part of my life. For this reason, I love repping Rove Co’s apparel line. Not only do I appreciate the style and quality, but I feel strongly about representing a brand that brings people together and gets people outdoors.”

I was nervous to attend my first Rove Co ski meetup in November 2022, but I'm SO glad I went! That meetup was a turning point and a total game-changer. In my 2.5 years in Fairbanks, I had yet to find a community of people who truly loved being active in the outdoors as much as I did. Rove Co quickly became that community for me. I have since been on more outdoor adventures than I can count and made lifelong friends. I love that Rove Co also sells branded merchandise! It creates an added sense of community/belonging and is such an easy conversation starter and way to connect with others who are seeking an outdoor community.”

“As a military family it can be hard moving and finding your place in a community. Coming from Texas to Alaska was a big shocker for us and we didn't know what to expect. My family and I love being outdoors but we didn't have the confidence or knowledge that came with being in Alaska. Luckily we found Rove Co. and it has been life changing for us. We were immediately surrounded by a great group of people that had the same love for the outdoors as us and that helped us break down those barriers. Thanks to Jillian and her company we found our community and our lifelong friends!”

“I am grateful for finding a group that makes me get out of my comfort zone and helps me explore the great adventures of Alaska. I want to thank Rove Co for building my confidence and creating the best experiences  for my family and I.”

I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience with you all about Rove Community, an amazing outdoor group.I've been part of this incredible community for over a year now, from the very xc ski I joined, I instantly felt welcomed and embraced by fellow nature enthusiasts who share the same passion for the outdoors as I do.

The group leader at Rove Community and all the Ambassadors are absolutely amazing. They are not only knowledgeable and experienced, but they genuinely care and prioritize the safety and enjoyment of every single member. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, they make sure that each event is tailored to everyone's skill level, creating a supportive and inclusive environment.. 


Apart from the exceptional leadership and environmental ethos, Rove Community has given me friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I have met incredible individuals who have become my adventure buddies, sharing countless laughs, and unforgettable memories. Seeing fellow Rove Community members proudly wearing the same gear creates an instant connection and a feeling of unity. Not only does it look stylish and feel super comfortable, but it also sparks conversations and fosters friendships. It's amazing how a simple piece of clothing with the Rove community symbol can bring people together and ignite a sense of belonging.

If you're looking to explore the great outdoors, meet like-minded individuals, and create memories that will stay with you forever, I cannot recommend Rove Community enough. It's more than just a group – it's a family.

So, strap on those snowshoes, pack your sense of adventure, and join Rove Community. ”

I can’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come in the outdoors since my first hike many years ago. Hiking, camping and the outdoors is not something that comes naturally to me. I’ve struggled a lot to build endurance, learn about proper gear, find a community to explore with and just get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I’m forever grateful that Rove Community has created a community where you can show up as you are in your journey with exploring the outdoors. A group of people who just want to help you learn and grow in whatever journey you are on.”

“Rove Community has been so awesome for me and my family. We are an outdoorsy family already but having a group of people that love doing the same thing without hesitation at any point and time, is pretty remarkable!

We also have seen it first hand, people who, having just moved to Alaska come to a meet up saying that they want to do all the things. Alaska is a very intimidating place, so they saw a Rove Community event and showed up!

Rove Community is a place where you can go to gain the confidence you need to do all the outdoorsy things up here in Alaska!”

- Tiffany and Nick, Eielson, AK

“This community has been an absolute joy to be a part of. The Rove Community has made me feel like I am home in a place where I didn't know anyone. I have picked up so many new hobbies, learned so much about the outdoors in Alaska, and made so many genuine friends. I don't think I have felt more welcomed by a group of complete strangers, and I'd highly recommend anyone to join who is looking for people to get outside with and stay active. I love Rove Co!”
