Women-only group lessons give you the opportunity to learn new outdoor skills in a social environment. Bring a friend or come meet some like-minded women.

We strive to ensure each lesson is paired with a female instructor, to ensure the lesson content is as relatable as possible! Women-only programs are a great option if you are nervous about trying skiing for the first time, prefer a female instructor, or generally enjoy engaging in physical activity with other women!

Each program begins with basic skills, advancing to more challenging terrain when appropriate. Participants will be evaluated at the beginning of the program and WinSport may adjust group placements to support an enjoyable and effective learning experience best suited to their skill level. All levels may be repeated multiple times to help build a solid foundation and allow you to develop your skills at your own pace in a safe learning environment.

We focus on smaller class sizes with a target ratio of one instructor for every seven participants for this program. Standard hill access is included during the lesson.
