Why membership?
Due to the high demand to continue offering ski and snowboard trips under the Women Who Ski (WWS) banner going into the 2024 / 2025 winter season, it is imperative we evolve to a membership model to administrate and facilitate offering quality ski vacation packages. When a group such as Women Who Ski (originally just a Facebook group) works with a travel agent to hold a block of rooms, the group must put down a deposit. Without a treasury from which to draw the deposit, Women Who Ski is unable to have access to quality lodging at the best ski resorts. There are many groups and ski clubs vying for these properties. If you want to join us on our ski and snowboard trips, you’ll need to be a paying member of Women Who Ski. Additionally, we’ve built in other benefits to make a WWS membership worthwhile.
Level 1 Tier - $48 (sold out)
Annual full Women Who Ski membership.
Available starting June 1, 2024: includes early access to our ski trips and access to all other benefits. Trips are now sold out so this membership level is no longer available. No refunds on membership fee. Expires May 31, 2025.
Level 2 Tier - $25 (available now)
Includes access to our exclusive Women Who Ski on-mountain texting groups as well as special curated discounts. Scroll down to find out what those are. Benefits launch November 1, 2024. No refunds. Expires May 31, 2025.
Level 3 Tier - free (always available)
To access special deals available for members of our all-women community, must be a subscriber to our WWS Newsletter and/or a member of our Facebook group where we will share the exclusive discount codes. There is no cost to receive this benefit. This season, so far, we are offering special discounts at Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort. Receive 20% to 35% off on lift tickets, lodging, rentals, lessons, and activities. These discounts are not available to the general public. Sign up for our newsletter and/or join our Facebook group so you don’t miss when we share the discount code.
Level 1 Tier Membership Includes all 5 Benefits:
-
1. Early Access to our Trips
Exclusive first access to our ski and snowboard trips. Information sent via newsletter directly to your email inbox. Paid members will have time to decide to commit. Only if there are unsold spots as the deadline approaches will the trip will be offered to our Women Who Ski members in our Facebook group. Anyone who decides to go on our trips will then have to pay the membership fee. Paying your membership fee sooner ensures you have early access to a spot on our trips. Last year, all four trips sold out relatively quickly.
-
2. Better Chance to Secure a Spot
Trips are sold on a first come / first serve basis, so being a paid member means you are the first to know about our trips, increasing your likelihood of securina a spot. Maximum number of spots is 25 including one or two trip ambassadors. Being a paying member does not guarantee a spot. Paying a non-refundable deposit is what holds your spot. Again, membership buys you access to our trips.

3. Investment in a New Ski Venture
A toast to us! If you’re a member of the Women Who Ski Facebook group, you feel the excitement, positive energy, and virtual love as we encourage and high-five each other on our posts. That same compassion and support characterizes our in-person trips. Your membership fee not only helps us secure lodging for trips, but will help offset expenses to maintain this incredible community through this website and domain name, the WWS newsletter, mailing list, and the membership portal, as well as the swag we give away. You can feel good that you’re paying it forward by helping attract more women to the sport by how we show our heart to them.

4. Access to Exclusive Mountain Text Groups
Members have access to join exclusive group text channels for major ski area / resorts so members can meet-up in real time with other members at that location. This private texting channel will allow you to send out a text to other WWS members at that resort any given day and time and connect with them. Non-paying members on our Facebook group do that by creating a “meet-up” notice in the Events tab but there is a delay as not everyone is on Facebook every second of the day. A private text to, say, the Big Sky Resort channel can alert others in the group in real time where you want to meet while keeping track of who’s where and when. Being part of the channel can also motivate you to ski more if you know one or two ladies want to meet up that day.

5. Curated Deals

“It’s great to be with likeminded people. We all not only love to ski, but we do other things. We mountain bike, we hike. It’s really good networking. ”

Looking Ahead
Based on initial interest in the WWS membership this first season, 2024 / 2025, we will be exploring the possibility of partnering with more organizations who want to work with us. We will expand our curated discounts to include experiences like women’s ski clinics, trade shows, and related events. Looking ahead, as we find ambassadors, they can help us host WWS social meet-ups to keep the love and energy going. The sky’s the limit!
Our Commitment to Each Other
“As I work to build the first Women Who Ski membership model, I am committing to serve you with curated all-women trips defined by camaraderie, fast friendships, and lifetime memories. In addition, the private mountain chat channels I’m developing, along with the discounts I secure will further my goal of connecting you to a new ski or snowboard friend. You will, in turn, be investing by paying a non-refundable membership fee to have access to these benefits. We can both feel blessed that we are investing in something new and exciting that will impact the greater outdoor winter community by attracting more women to the sport.”
