Skigrlz guides are all experienced women mountaineers, whitewater and ocean paddlers, ski instructors, and naturalists.

Our trips are small (6-7 participants), giving you lots of individual attention from our experienced guides. 

We offer a range of trips for beginner to advanced. All that is required is a good fitness level, and a desire to get outdoors. Whether you are moms, daughters, friends, couples or a solo traveler – all women are welcome to join us. Skigrlz offers a handful of family oriented and co-ed trips as well; our partner company Equinox Expeditions offers many more. A lot of our trips are custom and private trips are offered for repeat clients who have been traveling with us for over twenty years. Contact us for email updates on our special expeditions, and can provide you with regular email updates of our women’s trips – this year we are featuring trips to Patagonia in Chile, and several women’s trips in the Canadian Arctic.

Make new friends and challenge yourself, and discover new landscapes on a vacation that combines fun, relaxation and adventure.
