Hi Kari,
What a great site! A year or two back, there was an article in one of the skiing or boarding publications about a snowboard camp for “The Woman Who Wasn’t Born yesterday”. This was great news for my ski buddies and me & we decided this would be our season to learn. Problem is, I can’t find the article and nothing comes up in my searches for camps specifically for older women. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Annie

Hi Annie,
Thanks for looking at my website. Skiing with friends is always a blast!

Unfortunately, I didn’t find the article either. There are some clinics you may be interested in such as Tahoe’s Mt Rose Silver Ski program or the Buttermilk Senior Camp at Aspen/Snowmass.

Another suggestion is to gather a group of buddies and take a private lesson together. While a private lesson can be expensive, some ski resorts let you have up to 5 friends in a private lesson for the same price as it would cost for only 1 person with an instructor. So, if you split the private lesson rate with your friends, you can enjoy a more affordable and fun way to improve your skiing.

I hope you and your friends get out on the slopes, learn some new skills and have a great time!

I can vouch for Jackson Hole’s women’s camp. I attended last year and LOVED IT! I’d go back except I have work conflicts this year: rats! The group size is extremely small, the coaches are very good, and the camp is run smoothly and all campers have to worry about is skiing, learning, and having fun. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely worth it.

Hi Kari,

Just wanted to thank you for pulling this site together. I just worked with my friend to pick a ski clinic, and your list made the job really easy to compare the ones that are nearby to us.

You mentioned to let you know if anything was missing – I had originally found a clinic called “Her Turn” that is in Vail and possibly some other locations this year and didn’t see it on your list. You may want to search on that and add it.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for looking at my site. I am so glad it helped you find a clinic. I am adding some of the “Her Turn” clinics, so thank you very much for mentioning them.

If you get a chance, let me and readers know about your clinic experience. Enjoy it and have a fantastic winter.
Thanks again!

This is a great list which shows what fits in with my schedule and level. I would love to see you add $$ categories so I can then further identify what meets my criteria. Some are very reasonable and some are REALLY expensive.

Outside Adventure Guide

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for looking at my website, and I really appreciate your suggestion! The prices from camp to camp vary. When pricing a camp, it’s also important to consider variables such as location, whether lift tickets are included, number of days, instructor to student ratio, quality of program and of certified and experienced instructors, video taping and analysis, rentals and extras such as meals and goodies provided. I like your idea of $$ categories, and I will look into adding them in the future while also considering the various variables that distinguish one camp from the next.

I hope you find a camp that best fits your needs! Please let me know which camp you choose and any feedback you may have. Have a great winter!
~Thanks!

I am interested in attending a clinic in order to move away from “terminal intermediate status.” Although I’ve skied since I was a teenager, my husband says I still can’t carve a turn! both my sons and my husband are phenomenal skiers and if I want to enjoy skiing with them, I really need to step up my skill level!!

Ideally, I would like to attend a clinic with similarly situated women and, women in their early 50′s. Can you recommend some clinics that might fit this criteria?

Outside Adventure Guide

Hi Yvette,
There are many camps that will help you break out of that “terminal intermediate status”. I think your current level and goal is a very common one. Usually the ages vary in the programs, yet I think you will find a clinic with “similarly situation” women like you are seeking. Popular clinics break participants into groups with skiers of similar levels and goals. I also recommend calling ahead and finding out more about the ages and levels of the current participants registered or requesting in advance your desire to be in a group of participants with similar goals and in your age category.

I’ve heard positive recommendations about the following clinics, which incorporate video taping, analysis and instruction to help you break into the next level; however, there are plenty of other clinics I have listed that are also great.

I recommend the Women’s Ski Camp at Jackson Hole. The camp is very popular and gets repeat business. The terrain and conditions are varied and can be challenging at Jackson Hole, which will help push you to become a better skier. You’ll receive 4 days of instructions, video taping, analysis and fun. The first camp is held January 18-21.

I’ve received position recommendations on camps with Kim Reichhelm. Her camps are held in various locations this winter. The first camp is held in Vail on January 9-12. Her clinics and instructors also focus on video taping and analysis and with four days, you’ll receive plenty of time to break through to that next level and to share experiences with fellow women of similar abilities.

I will be posting more camps and clinics over the next few weeks. While there are a few clinics geared for women over 50, I think that you will find “similarly situation women” in any popular camp.

If you have any more questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing which camp you choose.
~Thanks!

Hi Cheryl! I will keep your group in mind! Usually clinic dates don’t get posted until early November, but that should give you ladies plenty of time to plan a ski adventure. I will get in touch with you in the early winter! ~ Kari

Kari,

That’s a wonderful list of women’s ski clinics and programs. I want to suggest another site – Ski with Kim. Kim Reichhelm (an excellent teacher and world champion skier) hosts women’s ski clinics at three resorts in Colorado; Aspen, Vail and Crested Butte throughout the winter months. The clinics are pretty good, including all accommodations, food and top notch instruction.

I’m not sure if she is hosting anymore women’s ski clinics this winter/spring but surely next winter. You’d have to check her schedule.

Hi Danielle,

Thank you for the great information! I will add Kim Reichhelm’s ski clinics for women to my website next winter. Her clinics and programs look amazing! Her schedule also includes upcoming co-ed clinics in both Alaska and Chile.

Thanks!

Hi Jacqueline,

If you want something in May, I would suggest a backcountry ski clinic for powder skiing. Sierra Mountain Center http://www.sierramountaincenter.com/index.html offers many guided tours along with California Alpine Guides http://www.californiaalpineguides.com/ .

Very few ski resorts are open in May. For those that remain open, such as Mammoth, the ski school programs have usually ended for the season.

I hope you find a great clinic or backcountry tour to join!

Thanks ~ Kari
