Skiing Vacations
Girlfriend Getaways
Special classes and activities for women at top resorts
Ready to trade in the stresses of the daily grind for a big sized shot of adrenaline with just the girls? Then wrap up the domestic details and head out to experience some out-of-this-world mountain air, exercise, food, spas, and even shopping on a ski vacation together. Start with a girls-only ski lesson after a hearty breakfast then plan some group runs or a meet up at a lodge for lunch and a warm drink. Of course, some of the most exhilarating fun can begin after the ski day ends in ski towns with a party atmosphere, entertainment, great dining, and fun bars.
Ski resorts are beginning to cater directly to female skiers with special classes and activities. For instance, at the
