The core strength of this program (apart from the invaluable support from the women instructors) is the camaraderie amongst the like-minded women participating in the annual five and three day programs.
Feedback from virtually every woman who has taken part is always very positive. The women achieve their goals in a comfortable environment. And have a lot of fun at the same time.
This year's women's ski programs will be similar to the previous programs but with one noteable addition - the offer to less experienced or even total beginners) to participate.
Any woman who has been invited to go to the snow but has declined because of a reluctance to try skiing will find this an ideal opportunity in which to take those tentative steps in an ideal, all-women environment.
