North Conway, New Hampshire (DATE) - Cranmore Mountain Resort is recognizing and fostering a community for women in snowsports with their very first Women’s Week. The festivities will take place on March 10–15, 2025, and will include a wide range of activities.
“We have designed the week to celebrate skiing at all levels,” said Kelly Hunt, Cranmore’s director of sales and events. “Whether someone is getting on skis for the first time, interested in hearing about the experiences of a local Olympian or learning how to care for their gear… there is something for everyone.”
The week kicks off on Monday, March 10, with “Women’s Ski Lessons,” which offers a supportive and empowering environment for women to improve their skills. Skiers of all levels are invited to learn from three of Cranmore’s experienced instructors from 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m. for $159 per person.
“Cranmore has a long history of teaching people how to ski. Monday’s Learn to Ski event celebrates the incredible women who are involved in this decades-long tradition,” Hunt said.
On Wednesday, March 12, the resort will host a “Luncheon with Olympian Leanne Smith,” with each ticket priced at $30. Smith grew up skiing with the Cranmore Race Team, before advancing to the MWV Ski Team and ultimately becoming a two-time Olympic skier. Today she is a U16 and U18 assistant coach, dedicating her time to mentoring and sharing her expertise with up-and-coming young skiers.
“We are excited to inspire women through women who have skied at the highest level,” said Hunt.
Cranmore is partnering with Mountain Sports Lab to host a “Wine and Wax Workshop” on Friday, March 14. This interactive session will showcase all the essentials of ski and snowboard waxing, accompanied by small bites and wine tasting. Registration is $25 per person.
Finally, at the end of the week on Saturday, March 15, Cranmore will partner with Inclusive Ski Touring for the Women’s Uphill Ski Bash. This will include several uphill ski sessions throughout the day, interspersed with vendor showcases and educational seminars. Participating vendors include Blizzard Tecnica, Fisher, Hyperlite, Jones/Mammut and Trew. The event will conclude with a raffle and Après Ski Party from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. This event is $40; registration and discount pricing are available here. Uphill Day Tickets are $19 and are only available for purchase onsite at Cranmore’s ticket office.
