Join us February 21st - 23rd, 2025 in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, as we play, rest and connect in the beautiful San Juan mountains. We will ski/board at Wolf Creek Ski Area and stay at a nearby cabin together! Spending the days riding in the most snow in Colorado and spend the evenings relaxing by the fire and soaking in Pagosa’s Natural Hot Springs. In addition to all our adventuring, we will also be engaging in an evening sound bath and relaxing journaling session at the cabin one night.
You’re welcome to ski as much or as little as you prefer. Last year, our group did two half days, but if you’re feeling excited and want to ride the whole day, that’s great! If some people in the group are headed out early and you need to sleep in or want to save some money and purchase a half-day pass, that’s great too! Overall- expect a relaxed weekend of skiing/snowboarding without the pressure of needing to give every second to riding. I want you to leave feeling rested and rejuvenated without feeling drained.
This retreat is ideal for women who want to spend a cozy weekend improving their skiing skills alongside a small group of powerful ladies. All ability levels are welcome! Whether you are skiing for the first time or working on landing your backflips, we invite you to come play in the snow with your sisters, deep in the San Juan Mountains!
