We started as a small group of women in a Facebook group in 2015. Today, we have nearly 15,000 female skiers, snowboarders, and winter sports enthusiasts across the world.

Women Who Ski
Who We Are
Women Who Ski is the name of the largest ski and snowboard group made up of women only. It exists as a group page on Facebook for female skiers and boarders to connect with one another, get advice on gear, ski clothing, travel, and events. It’s also a great place to share resources and find new ski buddies.
The Ultimate Meet-Up
Up until now, the primary way for group members to connect in person would be by posting their activity—for example that they are going to be at a particular ski resort on a particular date and would like to meet other Women Who Ski members. This has worked wonderfully with many posts showing women meeting up for the first time and skiing together.
As the group has grown so has the demand for official formalized “Women Who Ski” ski vacation packages. This website, launched in September 2022, is a way to facilitate those trips.
“The greatest Facebook page ever!”

Some History
In 2015, Genevieve Schmitt, a lifelong skier who lives in Montana, created the group “Women Who Ski” on Facebook as a way to promote her K2 Ski ambassador activities with the side benefit of finding ski buddies near her home mountain, Big Sky Resort in Montana. At the time, nothing like this existed on Facebook.
For the first few years, the group grew slowly with approximately 2,000 members in 2017. However, during the covid years of 2020-2022 membership increased exponentially boasting 9,800 women by September 2022 hailing from all over the U.S., and parts globally. In November 2022, we passed the 10,000 member mark.
To meet the demand for formalized activities for members, Genevieve created this website as a way to facilitate official group ski trips and other events. Genevieve (no longer working with K2) is a professional journalist and marketer best known for creating the largest and most prolific resource for female motorcyclists that contributed to the explosive growth of women riders over the last two decades.
