This course is for women that are interested in experiencing the best of the Alps. Women want the whole package so we are offering the best powder in the Alps, combined with yoga and massage, the finest European spas and gastronomy. Verbier‚s huge terrain provides the perfect setting where we can practice technique and backcountry safety; then, we‚ll put the skills to work heli-skiing amongst the Mt. Blanc Massif. With a close 4:1 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.

Mid way through the week we will change venues to Zermatt. Spectacular Views of the Matterhorn and Lunch on the Italian side in Cervinia make for an unforgettable experience. A heli lift to the Monterosa followed by a 7000ft. powder descent back to town where our private yoga instructor and masseuse will help you unwind.
 
*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.
