Women's Turn Club

For adult women ages 17 and up, intermediate to advanced skiers and riders who thrive and learn in the supportive environment of an all-women’s group. Don’t be fooled though; WTC is for women of all skiing and riding types from easy-going cruisers to full-on hardcore rippers. WTC is designed and taught by some of the best women skiers and riders on the mountain. WTC group placements are based on ability level, ski/ride style, goals, learning style, and tolerance for risk. The ultimate goal for you? To improve your skiing or riding in a safe, fun and social environment.

In addition to including a NASTAR Race Arena season pass, WTC members are also invited to unlimited Ski & Ride School Group Lessons* and to Sunday morning Ski & Ride School Instructor Training Clinics.

Women’s Discovery

Sugarbush Women's Ski and Ride Discovery is a program specifically for women taught by women. The program was designed by veteran instructors, Nancy Luke and Ashley Fischer, in response to concerns expressed by the many women they have taught.


"We offer a ski clinic for female skiers who are looking for an alternative learning environment tailored especially for them. Not only will we address the physical differences between male and female skiers, we will deal with psychological needs as well. A team of psychologists and highly skilled female instructors designed our educational indoor sessions. We will cover special topics that suit the needs of each group, such as equipment; fitness, fears and attitudes towards risk in general and the sport of skiing specifically.

The excellent onhill coaching integrates the best technical teaching Sugarbush has to offer with the work done indoors. We will not only give you the skills; we will help you trust those skills to allow you to meet new challenges with greater confidence.

We will help you to overcome barriers whether real or perceived in order to make you a better and more confident skier. You will enjoy the companionship and support that comes with skiing with other women. Our goal is to create a learning environment that is challenging, supportive, and most important ...FUN!"

Read why women's programs have been so successful in helping women improve: it's just different.


Ashley Fischer, team leader of the women's program at Sugarbush Resort, sees every kind of fear imaginable expressed by hundreds of women who participate in the clinic each season
