Women's Summit Ski/Splitboard (3 Day)

$1,360.00

MAY 29 - 31, 2026

If summiting Mt. Shasta is a goal of yours, and you’d like to do that with a group of strong, supportive women, this is the trip for you! This trip is summit focused, route choice TBD on conditions, by way of skis/splitboard. We’ll spend 2 nights and 3 days on Mt. Shasta, acclimating, enjoying views, skiing/riding, and then spend a big day going for the summit!

Summit day starts in the wee hours of the morning. A tough wake up - but what beats skinning high on a volcano beneath the stars? Catching all shades of sunrise as you climb higher and higher? And then after you’ve reached the summit, getting to SKI/SPLITBOARD back down?! Not much is the correct answer.

If you’re driven, fit, and a strong skier/rider (comfortable on skiing/riding black runs off the groomers), this summit focused adventure with the gals is for you!

** It is not always feasible to ski from the true summit. We will summit, conditions permitting! But, we may choose to leave our skis near 12,500’ or 13,000’ if ski conditions higher up are deemed a safety hazard. There are a plethora of routes to choose from, and we will do our best to set ourselves up for success and ski/ride the best conditions we can from as high as we can! Ski terrain includes open slopes up to 35 degrees, in addition to up to 1500’ of sustained steep skiing between 35 and 40 degrees.
