FAQ

Furiously curious? That’s good. So are we. Here are some answers to your burning questions.
Still have questions? Feel free to reach out! We love curiosity—keep it coming!

Q: Is The Ski Retreat just for skiers?
A: No way! It’s for snowboarders, snowshoers, and all the snow-curious folks out there. If you love winter adventures, you’re in the right place.

Q: Will dietary restrictions be considered?
A: Absolutely. We take food seriously and do our best to accommodate every dietary need. Just let us know, and we’ll make sure you’re well-fed and happy.

Q: What's the age range of women who join?
A: It’s not about the age; it’s about the vibe! We welcome women from 18 to 65+, but the most common thread is a love for adventure and a willingness to try something new. Anyone under 18 requires a guardian in attendance.

Q: What's the most affordable way to join The Ski Retreat?
A: Shared accommodations are your go-to for the best value, and since everything is all-inclusive, you can just show up and enjoy! New this year, we’re offering a “no-frills” retreat in Lake Tahoe (see here!) for those who want to focus on skiing or snowboarding without the extras, so you can save some cash but still have a blast.

Q: What ability level is The Ski Retreat for?
A: All levels are welcome—from first-timers to seasoned pros! You’ll hit the slopes with women at your skill level. If you’re brand new to skiing or snowboarding, we recommend booking lessons to get you started.

Q: What’s included in each trip?
A: Visit the page for your trip of interest to see the full list of inclusions, from accommodation to meals and more surprises!

Q: What’s the deposit and cancellation policy?
A: We’ve got fair and flexible policies. A $550 deposit secures your spot, with final payments due at least 75 days before the trip.

Need to change your plans? No problem! If it’s 75 days or more in advance, you can switch to another trip or use your payment as credit for next season. You can make your final payments here. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance at the time of your booking so you are protected in the event you need to cancel with less than 75 days notice.

Q: Is transportation included?
A: Transportation is on you! You’ll need to arrange your flights and get yourself to and from the retreat. We do arrange a carpool sheet for those traveling from the same place or who want to organize shared transportation from the airport. If you need tips on how to get here, just ask!

Q: You mention après—are there non-alcoholic options?
A: Yes! The Ski Retreat isn’t centered around drinking. We have a very big focus on wellness, so there will be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available for everyone to enjoy.

Q: Are lessons and rentals included?
A: Not at the moment, but don’t worry! We can help you arrange rentals and lessons. Just shoot an email to charlotte@theskiretreat.co, and we’ll get you set up.

Q: What should I pack for The Ski Retreat?
A: We’ve got you covered! Check out our pack list here for everything you’ll need to bring to make the most of your retreat.
