Wasatch Mavens - Women's Backcountry Mentorship Series is a season-long program for female backcountry skiers and split-snowboarders. Tours will be Fridays or Sundays January-March 2026. Cost is $1600 plus tax for the season-long program.
This is a season-long backcountry touring series meant to bring women together over a common passion for skiing & riding outside the confines of the resort.
This mentorship program is spread out over a full winter season, allowing participants to analyze the changing snowpack, develop a broader knowledge of backcountry terrain in the Wasatch, practice and implement decision-making skills in avalanche terrain, bond with fellow backcountry tourers and build a deeper connection with experts in the field.

After the required assessment tour, our guides will create compatible groups. Participants will be invited to join a group of 4 participants with similar goals and comparable uphill and downhill ability. The program includes the assessment day plus 5 of the 6 days listed below, giving you the option to miss a day should participant have a conflict or be sick. If participant chooses not to join the program after the assessment, they will only be charged $239 plus tax for the assessment. If they join the program, they will be invoiced 50% of the full rate minus the cost of the prepaid assessment. The balance is due upon completion of the program.
