WHO CAN JOIN?
These trips are strictly for women, ages 21+.
Path to Powder is a small-group, women-only experience built around shared rooms, shared space, and shared energy.
It’s an intentionally created space for women to connect, recharge, and ride in good company — no dudes, no drama.
If you’re not sure whether this trip is the right fit for you, feel free to reach out before booking.
While we respect all humankind, we appreciate your understanding and support in maintaining the comfort and intent of this space.
WHAT SKILL LEVEL DO I NEED?
Skiers & Snowboarders of All Levels Welcome.
However, each trip is designed with a specific skill level in mind to ensure the best group experience.
Please refer to the individual trip descriptions for details on the expected group level.
These are peer-based experiences with no guiding or instruction provided, and all on-mountain activities are at your own risk.
Skiing & Riding together is always optional.
LIFT TICKETS & RENTALS
Lift tickets and rental equipment are not included in your trip package.
We highly recommend purchasing a season pass or multi-day ticket as early as possible to lock in the best online pricing — these rates are almost always better than any buddy passes or “ski with a friend” discounts we can offer later.
If you need to rent ski/snowboard gear, we’re happy to help pointing you toward trusted local rental shops.
Please note:
We are not responsible for booking or managing your rental equipment or lift ticket purchases.
LODGING
Each location offers a different set up.
2025 Mammoth Trip – we will stay in a condo in the town of Mammoth Lakes, located near public transportation.
2026 Utah Trips – we will stay in a large home in Salt Lake City UT, located between the airport and the base of the canyons. This property creates easy accessibility via (Uber/Lyft) from SLC Airport to property.
2026 Vail/Beaver Creek Trips – we will stay in an all-suite condo style property in the town of Avon CO. Located near Avon Station.

CAN I BRING MY PET?
No Animal Policy
Our trips are private group experiences held in shared homes or private condos.
Due to private house rules, shared space logistics, and full-day activities away from the property, we’re unable to accommodate pets or service animals of any kind.
Additionally, ski resorts do not permit animals on lifts or slopes, and no animals can be left unattended at the accommodations while guests are away for the day.
If you require an animal for travel or accessibility needs, we completely understand — but unfortunately these particular trips are just not a good fit. We appreciate your understanding.
No exceptions whatsoever, even if registered as service animals.

WEATHER ISSUES

Guest Policy – only registered, paying guests are permitted at the accommodations. The only exceptions are pre-approved vendors or invitees of the host.
Quiet Hours 11:00 PM – 5:00 AM – We love to have a good time — but our trips are about mountain adventure, not all-night partying. To ensure everyone gets quality rest and is ready to shred, we ask all guests to respect quiet hours.
Respect Shared Space – Please store personal items in your designated room to help keep the house comfortable for everyone.
Kitchen use is open for cooking and storing personal items. Please label your personal items.

CANCELATION AND REFUND POLICY
Cancellation & Refund Policy
We totally understand that life happens — and while we wish we could offer refunds, the nature of these trips (including limited spots, non-refundable lodging, and property restrictions) means that all payments are final and non-refundable.
That said, we want you to experience an amazing trip.
Cancellations made 30 days or more before the trip start date will receive a full credit, (minus any promo discounts) which can be applied to either a future Shred Life Travel adventure this season or carried over to next winter.
One of two options:
- A different trip, if space allows, or
- A priority reservation for next season’s lineup
We’ll do our best to work with you if something unexpected comes up.
Cancellations made within 30 days of the trip start date are not eligible for credit.
Credits Expire 1 year after original trip date.
Please note: If you are removed from a trip due to violating trip policies or behavior expectations, no refund or credit will be issued.
**Trip Insurance is Strongly Recommended
Because life is unpredictable, we highly recommend purchasing trip insurance to protect your investment. Illness, injury, travel delays, or last-minute emergencies can happen — and insurance can help ensure you’re covered if you’re unable to attend.
Please reach out directly with Questions or if you plan to opt out of group transport.
