Itinerary

With all due respect to our friends with the XY chromosome, it is probably not a bad idea to forego the male presence while learning to rip powder in the Heli-Ski environment. It's been our experience that when it comes to supporting and encouraging one another, a tight group of female adventurers is living, skiing proof that sisterhood is powerful. And that ideal environment for learning is exactly what you'll find when you sign up for this women-only version of Powder 101.

Your first question, of course, should be, "Am I a good enough skier?" And the answer is a resounding yes if you are a strong resort skier who can handle diverse conditions—that is, you can tackle black diamond runs with confidence, if not necessarily style. Once here, the group of 10 female skiers will have its own dedicated pair of guide/instructors to turn each run into an alpine classroom. Equipped with video cameras, the guides will be recording each participant's progress, then screening the results daily in an aprés-ski setting guaranteed to keep the learning—and the laughter—rolling.

Perhaps you're already familiar with our all-female summer hiking programs, like Bodacious in the Bugaboos, that have proved so wildly popular. Well, the winter version promises the same camaraderie and thrills. So if you have an outsized appetite for fun, powder skiing with CMH is where to find it, and this is the ideal place to start.
