Most years, we offer at one women's vacation in Alaska or Canada or other locations around the world. We invite women of all ages and levels of experience to join us in the embrace of wild country on river rafting, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, and sea kayaking trips, as well as women's ski and snowshoeing trips in the Whistler-Sea to Sky Region of British Columbia. For 2012 , we are offering a women's winter outdoor week in the Whistler/Blackcomb region, a canoeing trip in Canada's High Arctic, and a beach trek in BC's Clayoquot Sound.

Our trips are small (4-7 participants), allowing us to move across the landscape quietly. Women of all ages who have a yearning for adventure can join us. Moms, daughters, grandmothers, friends, couples and solo travelers are all welcome. Make new friends and challenge yourself, discovering the unparalleled beauty of wild landscapes that few have explored.

Any camping trip into wild country offers personal challenge. On any given trip there may be a wide range of abilities. Some will climb to the top of every peak; others will choose to sit beside a moving stream. As long as you have an adventurous spirit, and a tolerance for the unexpected, you'll enjoy our trips.

On most of our women's river rafting and sea kayaking trips, no paddling experience is necessary. We'll teach you to paddle. Our backpacking trips are more strenuous, and are designed for fit women with previous experience. We hike cross-country, climbing over mountain passes, and fording streams. Our canyon-country backpacking trips in Utah are appropriate for hikers in average shape who can carry a 30 lb. pack.

Join us and discover the absolute joy of skiing and snowshoeing in British Columbia's Coast Range! In the camaradarie of like-minded women, strong beginners, intermediate, and advanced skiers will enjoy a week in mountains that consistently receive record snowfall, as you work on your ski skills, and simply have fun. This tour is moderately strenuous, and requires a reasonable fitness level as we travel through the wild country to beautiful alpine lakes and mountain cirques in search of the best backcountry powder.

Snowshoers and skiers will form separate groups with a guide, according to ability. Each day we travel to a different locale to find the best snow conditions. We plan to spend at least one day on the new 2010 Olympics Nordic ski trails near Whistler. Play in fresh backcountry powder during the day, and at night, check out Whistler night-life, or enjoy hearty dinners, relax by the fire, and soak in natural hot springs. Return to Vancouver International Airport by late afternoon of Day 6, in time to catch your flight home, or we will drop you at a Vancouver hotel. This trip includes transportation to and from Vancouver and all area transportation, all accomodations, meals, hot springs fee, park fees, and guide services.

Trip price does not include ski or snowshoe rental fees, Callaghan or Whistler passes, and dinner on Saturday night.

Our ski and snowshoe week coincides with WinterPride 2011 at Whistler Ski Resort. Our alternative lodging and activities week allows us to enjoy outdoor activities every day, as well as the best women's events of Winterpride, including a WinterPRIDE T-Shirt, the Village T-Dance, Women's Party on Friday, Feb. 4, and Shred Betties Bash on Saturday, Feb. 5. If you are more interested in the quieter side of BC's Coast Mountain lifestyle, join us as we go into wild mountain terrain to snowshoe or backcountry ski, savour world-famous Whistler/Blackcomb slopes, and ski the Olympic nordic trails at Callaghan. We are only a short drive from Whistler.
