Women's Alps

This course is for women interested in building backcountry confidence and know-how that aspire to ride bigger mountains. With a close skier-to-guide ratio, we provide a safe supportive environment, allowing you to push your limits with like-minded women, skiing terrain that others only dream about. Each trip will be housed in a cozy luxury chalet, where we can unwind and discuss the day’s events. We feel this close atmosphere fosters the supportive environment that we strive to establish. 
*This trip is designed for women with very strong skiing skills, confident in most terrain and able to turn through most snow types while carrying a day pack.
