About the Retreat
The Women in Finance Ski Retreat is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings ambitious women together to ski, connect, and step away from the demands of everyday life. Whether you're navigating a career transition, stepping into leadership, or simply craving time away from the pace of work, this retreat gives you the space to recharge and reconnect with yourself alongside an incredible community of women.
Designed for all ability levels, you'll have the chance to challenge yourself on the mountain, have fun, and build the kind of genuine connections that don't end when the weekend does.
You'll leave with real friendships, a deeper professional network, renewed energy, and greater confidence — both on and off the slopes. It's an opportunity to invest in yourself while creating friendships and experiences you'll never forget.
All Levels Welcome
Whether you're learning your first turns or carving down black diamonds, every level offers its own adventure, confidence-building moments, and unforgettable memories.
Space to Recharge
This retreat is designed to break up your daily routine in a way that gives you the time and space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a way your everyday schedule rarely allows.
Real Connection
When you bring together like-minded women in a space where they can truly unwind, meaningful conversations happen naturally and genuine connections follow.
A Community That Continues
The retreat ends, but the community doesn't. You'll leave with shared memories, genuine friendships, and a network of ambitious women who ‘get it’.
A glimpse of what you can expect.
Get excited!
"What an incredible ski trip to Tahoe! A huge thank you to Lauren for organizing such a fun, seamless, and memorable experience. From the amazing skiing and beautiful scenery to the laughter, adventures, and late-night conversations, every moment was special. The best part was the wonderful group of women—new friendships were formed, bonds were strengthened, and memories were made that will last a lifetime. I can’t recommend this trip enough and am already looking forward to the next one!”

Attending the Women in Finance Retreat was one of the most valuable professional development experiences I've had over my 14-year career. Although many of us were meeting in person for the first time, and I am not even a skier, the opportunity to build genuine connections and learn alongside women from different industries facing many of the same leadership challenges made the experience incredibly worthwhile. I left with fresh perspectives, a stronger network, and relationships that continue to add value long after the retreat ended.

“So happy I made the jump and went on this ski trip! Not only a stunning location, ski on and off, shuttles all hours to wherever we needed, airport transfers, and total care by our host, but the group that was there was amazing! Genuine friendships made and the group text continues! Real ladies who are badasses but also amazing humans. I can’t wait to go back for the next location!”

Hi, I'm Lauren — an executive coach for women in finance.
After years of skiing in groups that were mostly men, I realized how much I craved the energy that comes from being surrounded by women who shared the same passion for skiing, adventure, and personal growth.
I wanted to create a space where women in finance could come together, not just to ski, but to connect, recharge, and push their comfort zones in an encouraging and supportive environment.
A place where you can let your guard down, be yourself, and feel seen and understood by other ambitious women who simply get it. All while having a damn good time, laughing until your cheeks hurt, and making memories that will last long after the snow melts.
Ski Hard.
Laugh Harder.
Build Lasting Connections.
