Vermont is about community—and helping everyone find theirs. Our goal is to make everyone feel excited to be outside in the mountains and learn in a way that best suits them. Women and gender-expansive groups provide a space for riders of many abilities to practice skills in a setting where they feel most comfortable. Check out programs offered by ski areas across the state.
