Journeyman Lodge | Women's Backcountry Ski Camp March 29-31, 2026

BACKCOUNTRY SKIING RETREAT AT JOURNEYMAN LODGE, CALLAGHAN BC

Have you ever dreamed of skiing endless powder in the breathtaking mountains of British Columbia? Make that dream a reality with our 100% off-piste, self-propelled Ski Touring Retreat. This camp offers the perfect opportunity to improve your powder and tree skiing skills while touring through some of BC's finest terrain in the Coast Mountains.

Bonus! Rippin’ Chix "Drops In"

In collaboration with Drop Below the Surface Retreats, we’ve added a unique mindfulness component to this trip. Surrounded by stunning off-the-grid nature, we’ll take the lessons learned on the mountain and apply them to everyday life, helping you tap into your inner strength, embrace fear, and push past self-doubt—both on and off the slopes.

This trip offers the perfect chance to pause, tap into your curiosity, and embrace your inner badass in a whole new way.

Have you ever stood at the top of a mountain, whether literal or metaphorical, with fear, nerves, or self-doubt holding you back? You’re not alone. Our retreat offers a safe, supportive environment to lean into these moments and remind ourselves that it’s not about the direction, pace, or clarity of the path, but about taking steps forward.

WHAT MAKES RIPPIN CHIX SPECIAL:

• Empowering, all-female coaching: Our experienced coaches are dedicated to helping you break through barriers and achieve your goals on the mountain.
• Small group sizes: 6:1 coach-to-skier ratio ensures plenty of personalized attention.
• Comprehensive coaching: From powder to glades to steep terrain, we’ll guide you through the skills you need to take your skiing to the next level.
• Fun and camaraderie: Skiing with a group of like-minded women means lifelong friendships and unforgettable experiences.
