Who We Are
Women Who Ski is the name of the largest ski and snowboard group made up of all women. It exists as a group page on Facebook for female skiers and boarders to connect with one another, get advice on gear, ski clothing, travel, and events. It’s also a great place to share resources and find new ski buddies by connecting with other women on the slopes.
We are defined by our nurturing, light-giving spirit, where edifying and encouraging one another is the hallmark of our connections.
OUR MAIN INITIATIVES:
1. Membership
We are now in our second year offering the Women Who Ski membership program. Being a paid member gives you access to know about and attend our ski trips. You also get access to our member-only mountain chat groups, an ideal way to find women to ski with in a particular area.
2. Chat Groups
Over our 10+ years running the Facebook group, we’ve observed the increasing demand for women to find other women to ski with for a day or two on the slopes. In the 2024 / 2025 season, we launched our first ever mountain chat groups for members to connect directly with others at a particular ski resort or region. New for the 2025 / 2026 season, we are moving the groups to the WhatsApp platform for a greater reach. Learn more about this on our Membership page.
3. SKI AND SNOWBOARD TRIPS
We offer all-women ski and snowboard vacation packages open to all levels. Find your next ski buddy on our fun, low-key, easy-going trips. Our trips are announced in May to early bird Black Diamond level paying members. To be notified, subscribe to our mailing list here. Because our trips are so popular and sell out early—we are sold out for the 2025 / 2026 season—we will notify subscribers of other groups offering trips that align with our values, so be sure to get on our mailing list.
“I love all the posts. Hope to join a few trips next season.”

Some History
In 2015, Genevieve Schmitt, a lifelong skier who lives in Montana, created the group “Women Who Ski” on Facebook as a way to promote her K2 Ski ambassador activities with the side benefit of finding ski buddies near her home mountain, Big Sky Resort in Montana. At the time, nothing like this existed on Facebook.
For the first few years, the group grew slowly with approximately 2,000 members in 2017. However, during the covid years of 2020-2022 membership increased exponentially. By November 2022, we passed the 10,000 member mark; today we have more than 17,000 members.
To meet the demand for formalized activities for members, Genevieve created this website as a way to facilitate official group ski trips and other events. Genevieve (no longer working with K2) is a professional journalist and marketer best known for creating the largest and most prolific resource for female motorcyclists that contributed to the explosive growth of women riders over the last two decades. Genevieve calls Big Sky Resort her home mountain. Learn more at GenevieveSchmitt.com.
