Make New York Post a Preferred Source New York Post Composite Less group-chat logistics. More mountain memories. This winter, trade the endless planning texts for fresh powder, confidence-building turns and unforgettable après with your favorite people.
Every great girls’ trip starts with a group chat. But between coordinating schedules, choosing a destination, booking accommodations and figuring out who’s bringing what, sometimes the planning becomes almost as exhausting as the vacation is supposed to be relaxing. This winter, it’s time to take the conversation off your phones and onto the mountain.
Whether you’re planning a ski bachelorette party, an annual best-friend getaway or a much-needed moms’ weekend, Vail Mountain and Beaver Creek offer the perfect backdrop for a winter escape. And with Epic Pass paired with Epic Ascent private lessons, your group can spend less time managing logistics and more time making memories.
The best part of a mountain getaway is having a reason to plan the next one. That’s where the Epic Pass comes in.
The full Epic Pass provides unlimited, unrestricted access to Vail Resorts’ 42 owned and operated mountains, along with additional access at partner resorts around the world. Your group can start with a Colorado escape to Vail or Beaver Creek and keep the adventures going with future trips to other mountain destinations.
There are savings to make those plans even more appealing. Adults ages 18–30 can save 20% on an Epic Pass or Epic Local Pass. Plus, Epic Mountain Rewards gives Pass Holders 20% off food and beverage, lodging, group lessons, equipment rentals and more at participating locations. (Just note that Epic Ascent private lessons are booked separately and aren’t eligible for the group lesson discount.)
First, there’s the opportunity to find your ski legs again. Whether someone in your group is a first-timer, another is ready to tackle more challenging terrain or a few friends are returning to skiing after several seasons away, personalized ski or snowboard instruction helps everyone work toward their individual goals. It’s a chance to build skills, boost confidence and enjoy the mountain at your own pace.
Then there’s the logistics. A dedicated concierge can help with dining reservations, equipment rental arrangements, transportation coordination and planning your overall mountain experience. Instead of spending precious vacation time organizing the details, you can focus on the fun.
On the mountain, skip-the-lift-line access helps keep the day moving, while groups that add rental equipment to their lesson can enjoy access to a private gear-fitting area. It’s one more way to make getting ready for a day on the slopes feel effortless.
Every friend group has that one person who handles everything. She’s the reservation-maker, itinerary-builder and unofficial trip coordinator. This time, she deserves a vacation, too.
New this winter, Epic Ascent elevates every private lesson at Vail Mountain and Beaver Creek with concierge support and on-mountain perks. Designed to make the experience feel seamless from start to finish, Epic Ascent accommodates groups of up to six participants, making it an especially appealing option for a small-group ski getaway.
Think of it as a mountain-day upgrade with a little extra help behind the scenes.
For moms who haven’t clipped into their skis since before having kids, a girls’ ski weekend can be about more than just a change of scenery. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with a favorite sport, rediscover the confidence that comes with shredding gnar and spend uninterrupted time with friends.
With expert instruction and a little extra support, getting back on the mountain can feel less intimidating and a lot more exciting. And after a rewarding day outdoors? There’s nothing quite like swapping ski stories over a delicious dinner or celebrating with après-ski drinks.
So, gather the girls, pick your mountain and start dreaming up the outfits for your next après-ski moment. With Epic Pass and Epic Ascent, the ultimate girls’ ski trip is about more than getting everyone to the same destination. It’s about making the journey easier, the turns more rewarding and the memories worth repeating.
