Tahoe First Tracks Women's Ski Trip
Enjoy ski adventures, yoga flow, fine wine, and cozy nights in an elegant private mountain home.
In Lake Tahoe, every run comes with a jaw-dropping panorama - snow-dusted pines, deep-blue waters, and the Sierra Nevada peaks. Here, skiing is just the start. Off the slopes, unwind with morning yoga, indulge in gourmet dining with a view, or sip champagne by a roaring fire as the day fades. Tahoe’s wild beauty pairs perfectly with Otter’s signature premium touches, making this a winter escape to remember.
Every detail is taken care of so you can focus on skiing, connecting, and celebrating. Wake up to hearty breakfasts each morning, settle into luxury van transfers to the North Tahoe mountain of your choice, and find thoughtful touches like curated swag bags waiting for you. Après-ski brings the flavors of the region - local craft beers, wines, and signature cocktails paired with tempting bites. Some evenings feature memorable group dinners, while other nights leave space for you to explore on your own.
The real magic of these trips is the community that forms along the way, with natural opportunities for genuine connection. And it’s all at your pace: whether you thrive in a lively group or prefer more solo time, there are no required activities. The camaraderie flows organically, making this a welcoming environment for both extroverts and introverts alike.
This Tahoe women's ski trip is a getaway with a purpose - advancing Propelle's mission while enjoying powder turns by day, laughter-filled evenings by the fire, and no planning headaches in sight.

A Day in the Life
Your day begins with the aroma of made-to-order espresso and a gentle morning yoga session, before fueling up with a wholesome, nourishing breakfast.
Whenever you're ready, you'll be whisked to the mountain to ski - carving turns with a group of new friends, sharing the mountain with a few close companions, or heading out solo for quality time on the snow with just you and the peaks. Pause for a leisurely on-mountain lunch and return home whenever you like with private transfers at the ready.
Afternoons are designed for renewal. Slip into the hot tub, enjoy a massage, curl up fireside with a book, or stroll the shops in town. As evening sets in, gather for après ski festivities, featuring a rotating selection of local bites, craft beers, regional wines, and signature cocktails.
The evening might unfold with a trunk show from a local designer, a gallery walk, or simply lingering with friends at the house, swapping stories from the slopes. Dinner might be an intimate feast prepared by a local chef or a lively outing to one of the area’s prized restaurants. However you choose to spend it, every evening is the perfect close to your alpine adventure.
Looking for a day off from the mountain? Swap in additional activities such as cross country skiing, spa pampering, or snowshoeing. We'll get it all set up for you, and get you where you need to go.
