Pro Day Women In Skiing

Open to members who identify as female of all ages, abilities and perspectives, this program is offered in two different formats:

Pro Day Women In Skiing (1-day)
The Pro Day - WIS is for all those that identify as female to come and join in on a day not just for ski improvement (we’ll do that of course!) but also for something else. There is just something special that happens when a group of women ski together. The support and encouragement to expand your comfort zone results in a super fun day that leaves you with new friends, mentors, and a feeling of accomplishment. Women of all levels are welcomed, and an effort will be made to form groups of similar ability levels or interests. Themes that are explored are potential gender differences, motivation and leadership. Please come join us and see why a WIS day is so impactful and inspiring.

Pro Day Camp – Women in Skiing Summit (3-day Camp)
All the WIS Pro Day offers and more! 3 days with a group and coach that will inspire you to reach your next goal. Whether it is to gain more confidence off piste, increase speed and performance, learn from a coach that moves more like you, or simply just meet an amazing group of people, the WIS camp will exceed your expectations in all areas. Camps typically include ski improvement on and off piste, optional brush training, speakers, and social events where possible. All ages, all abilities welcome. Do this for you. You deserve it!

Objectives :

• Provide a unique opportunity for those that identify as women to ski together and learn in a supportive, inspiring atmosphere.
