Official Women Who Ski Trip to Big Sky Resort
March 8 – 13, 2026
Terms and Conditions: this is for read-only information purposes. Once you commit to reserving a spot on this trip, this document will be emailed and you will be asked to agree to each of these terms with your initials and sign the document via e-sign.

Trip deposit $350
The trip deposit is used to secure your spot on this Women Who Ski trip. The deposit is nonrefundable. Women Who Ski uses this money to hold your spot and guarantee the trip with our vendors in advance, as well as to pay for nonrefundable expenses Women Who Ski incurs like credit card fees, subscription to software used for systems to make the trip happen, and other resources. If you are unable to make the trip for any reason, the $350 deposit is nonrefundable. You will not ask for a refund for this.

Final payment deadline, October 1, 2025
If the final payment is not made by the deadline (with a 48-hour grace period) Women Who Ski reserves the right to cancel the person’s trip with no refund of the deposit.

Final payment
Your final payment, the balance due on your trip reservation, is nonrefundable if you need to cancel. We highly advise buying travel insurance, outlined below, for this reason. If a replacement guest can be found for your spot on the trip and the replacement guest pays the full trip price at the time of commitment—$350 deposit and final payment—you will receive your final payment refunded to you. The $350 deposit is nonrefundable even if you find a replacement per the reasons stated in the first item in this list.

Replacement for your spot if you need to cancel
The replacement for your spot option is only applicable for the same room type (double queen or king room) and is permitted up to 30 days before the trip commences, so on or before February 8, 2026. Within that 30-day window of the first day of the trip, no replacements are permitted as it is too close to the trip to make changes within ours and our vendors’ systems. Women Who Ski maintains a waiting list and can assist in finding a replacement. Refunds of that final payment are only granted if a replacement is found.

Travel insurance – please take the time to read and understand
Travel is a perishable product. It is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance to cover your investment. Last season, several women had to cancel within that 30-day window due to these reasons: knee injury during skiing, old back injury flaring up, daughter in hospital, husband in hospital, death in the family, travel to a foreign country to be at bedside of ill family member. Some of these women were able to recoup their investment because they purchased travel insurance. Others lost their money.

With the dates of this trip being in March, relatively later in the season, and you plan to ski prior to this trip, there is higher likelihood of a ski injury occurring and therefore having to miss this trip, let alone all the other reasons stated above we may not think about. It cannot be stated enough that paying an average of 6.5 to 10% of your package cost (based on your age) is a small price to pay for peace of mind so you can recoup not only your final payment but your deposit too in the event you are unable to make this trip.

If you’re new to understanding how travel insurance works, Women Who Ski, LLC founder and president Genevieve Schmitt recommends Myra Altschuler, a travel insurance agent with Travel Protectors who has worked with ski groups for many years. She is offering her services to Women Who Ski members to help answer questions and find the best policy for you. Call her office first at 703-443-9055. If you can’t reach her, she’s OK with you calling her cell phone: 571-243-5813. She’s on Eastern Time. Know that if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you must purchase a policy within 14 days of paying your deposit.

Check boxes only if you are NOT getting travel insurance for this trip.
