Our Ladies Weekend is dedicated to you: helping you become more confident and comfortable in the backcountry. Whether a beginner or more experienced, our guides and instructors help with every aspect; sometimes it’s the little things that no one thought to tell you about or maybe you’d like to learn a certain technique. While in a group, each person is evaluated individually and receives personalized attention to help with her specific goals.  There is ample time to practice, practice, practice…..The are also a few surprises with a lot of fun along the way!

Guests usually arrive the night before (Thursday night). Breakfast is between 8 – 8:30 am. Departure from The Lodge is around 9:30. We provide a wrap sandwhich for lunch.  It’s about a 10 – 15 minute drive to the launch point. The morning is spent with evaluations, instruction and practice. Break for lunch and more practice & instruction in the afternoon.  Before dark you will be back at the launch site for return to The Sled Den Lodge.  There are snacks available while you relax and review the day’s pics & videos along with discussions on theory and the day’s events.  Dinner is served 6:30 ish and the evening is free for socializing. Repeat….

As soon as you can! The Ladies Weekend books quickly. You can put your name on the list for the next scheduled Weekend (even if the dates are not yet set). We’ll contact you to confirm. 

Your sled, gear, toiletries & other clothing are the necessities. A gas can is a good idea to fill up your sled at the end of the day, a folding shovel is a consideration, special snacks & your own alcohol as well. Bedding, towels, etc are provided (feel free to being your own pillow & teddy bear!). Ginger Ale, Coke, juice, water, coffee, tea are all complimentary. 

Let us know what kind of sled you do have, You’ll find out out what your sled can and can’t do in the backcountry. The skills you’ll learn are also transferable in less than ideal trail riding situations. Alternatively, we have a limited supply of rental sleds.

The ladies are in The Sled Den Lodge. We have 3 large bedrooms rooms available with a total of 12 beds. Each room has its own bathroom. 

We welcome single riders as well. 

Please let us know ahead of time. We are quite accustomed to lactose free and gluten free diets. For anything else, we’ll try to be as accomodating as possible.

We believe the best way to learn is practice, practice, practice. This is why we allow 3 days for learning and riding. If you need to arrive a day late or leave a day early – not an issue. Use the time you do have here to your advantage. Let us know so we may accommodate!

While we want to ensure all our guests enjoy themselves in the backcountry, our first priority is safety. All our guides and instructors are accredited by the CQRHT (Quebec Council for Human Resources in Tourism) which included Wilderness First Aid training. Although we will encourage you to explore your limits, we will not push you beyond them.
