Women's Retreats

2 Sessions for 2010: January 18-20, February 6+7

"The women's retreat has provided me with the confidence and skills I need to ski most of the Waterville Valley trails without fear. Through nurturing and keen direction of the women instructors, I have moved from fear of the most basic slopes to a feeling of exhilaration with the most challenging trail." Maureen Ebner, Plymouth, NH

We are pleased to offer our Waterville Valley Women's Retreat for the 11th season. We have a weekend session and a mid week session. The retreats are run by certified women coaches experienced in running successful women's clinics, led by Pam Gould, voted one of America's Top 100 instructors in the Women Teacher Category in 2005! Goals are to have fun, improve skills and overcome fear of difficult terrain and conditions. We will divide our participants into small groups of similar skiing ability with a female instructor for each group. Through skill development and varied skiing and riding experiences, we hope to build confidence and competence. We also address equipment needs. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference for a feeling of better control.

Our program is geared toward any ability level from novice to advanced. Please call us if you have any questions. We look forward to sharing our Women's Retreat experience with you!
