Hi, newbie to this forum. I saw a post about the Palisades women's clinic which I'd never heard of (sold out this year, but it's on my calendar for next year). Any other women's adv camps or clinics you recommend? If I could name it, I'd like a 1, 2 or 3-day powder clinic but I'd like to hear of all that are out there. TIA.

Welcome!
The info the the thread about Taos Ski Weeks from last season is still relevant for 2023-24 as far as I know. I'm not going to Taos this season but there are several Divas who will be there in February and March.
Taos Ski Week, a 6-morning lesson program, 2022-23 notes
Couldn't decide if this topic should be in Skiing Tips or Resorts . . . so General Skiing was simplest. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t know much about Taos Ski Weeks or Taos Ski Valley terrain. Going to a resort that requires a 2-3 hour drive after flying to NM didn’t seem worth the...

Regular Taos Ski Weeks happen from mid-Dec to late March, perhaps early April too. The Women's Ski Week is scheduled for one particular week. That will start Feb. 25, 2024 for this season.

It was last year's Ski diva west destination. It is Feb 25-Mar 1, 2024. I plan to go. I hope to see other Diva's there too!

Paging @snoWYmonkey about the JH Women's Clinics.

Hi there. Jackson Hole has a January and a March 4 day women specific clinic. The January one that just took place had 58 ladies in it! I am not sure what level you are, but it caters to intermediates through experts.
Short of booking a heli trip with a coach such as the ones offered by Jessica Baker at skidivas.com the powder part is up to the fickle moods of the weather gods.

@Sallydog - You might want to get on the waitlist for Palisades so that you are on their email list for when the camp opens next year (assuming you're talking about the Women of Winter). It seems to be selling out earlier and earlier each year. I've done it 2x - in 2016 and 2019, and it's a great, well-run program. Another regular camp in the Tahoe area is hosted by NASTC (https://www.skinastc.com/calendar-2023-24/)
That one just happened.

Indeed. It was a lot of fun but for me it was a one-time-only thing as it's very costly (admittedly the price is all-inclusive).
There are 2 more this season - likely to be fully booked though.
