    2025 National Cross-Country Ski Weekend in Craftsbury, Vermont

    New thing year! Registration by lottery. 

    Due to unprecedented demand for this event for the past 3 years, we have decided to do registration via lottery to increase access to the sign-up process. Here's how it will work:

    Anytime between Dec 1 and Dec 15, you can sign up for the event by adding your name to the event "waitlist." It doesn't matter when you sign up as long as it's before the deadline on Dec 15th.

    Shortly after December 15th, we will pull names via lottery. If your name is selected you will be notified, and payment will secure your spot. All others will be placed on the waitlist as per the lottery outcome. As spaces open up, you will be notified.

    Lodging, Meals, and Skiing

    Dates: Friday, February 7 - Sunday February 9, 2025

    Location: Craftsbury Outdoor Center in the heart of Vermont’s unspoiled Northeast Kingdom 

    Fee: 2 nights and 3 days, double occupancy with 2 twin beds ($235) or single ($290).

    This amazing weekend features 3 days and 2 nights of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating and socializing. Women Outdoors members from all regions are encouraged and welcome to attend this event.

    Includes accommodations, all meals (from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch), and cross-country touring tickets.

    The restroom and showers are shared on each floor. Bedding and towels are provided. 

    Meals include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The variety and fresh local ingredients are just fabulous. Gluten-free and other specialties are available with advance notice. 

    See Cross-Country Ski Weekend for more information. 

    MUST be paid in full through our Wild Apricot website (AffiniPay) or check to secure your reservation. 

    Cancellation fee prior to January 24 is $25. After that date, there will be no refund.


    FAQs:

    Q: I am entering the lottery with my partner/spouse/etc. How does

    this work?

    A: We will put your names (together) into the lottery ,TWICE, to

    provide you with equal probability. 

    Please note for those attending with a partner: We can count both of

    your names as one, and put you into the lottery twice.

    Q: I only want to come if I can have a single room. What if the only

    opening is a double?

    A: We will fiil the single versus double rooms as they are selected

    by the lottery process. If there are no single rooms available when

    you are picked then you will be placed on the waiting list for a

    single.

    Q: I am fine with being in a double. Do I have to pre-select a

    roommate?

    A: No, we will assign you a roommate.

    Q: How quickly does the waitlist open up?

    A: It depends on when people cancel. Sometimes it is right before a

    refund deadline. Often there are cancellations at the last minute due

    to illness or life circumstances, so being flexible can work out in the

    end.

    South America Adventure 2025!

    Machu Picchu, Galapagos Islands, Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle

    Bucket list trip alert! Have you ever wanted to go on the trip of a lifetime? Well, Women Outdoors is planning an breathtaking adventure for June-July 2025 to Macchu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands and the Ecuadorian Amazon.

    You can choose to go on one, two or all three adventures. The exact dates have not yet been set, but we'll travel between late June and mid July 2025.

    Here's the trip in a nutshell:

    Machu Picchu - Late June 2025. Walking tour of Cusco. Sacred Valley tour by van to Ollantaytambo. Tour Ollantaytambo ruins. Guided tour of Machu Picchu. Pachamanca feast in home of Qechua farmer.

    Galapagos Islands - Immediately after Machu Picchu. Optional tours to chocolate farm and coffee plantation. Van tour of Highland Tortoise Reserve and lunch on a farm on the way to the village of Puerta Ayora. Speed boat to Isabela Island/Puerto Villamil and then boat to Tintoreras Islet for snorkeling. "Tunnels" day boat trip and snorkeling in underwater lava formations. Service project on a coffee farm. Speed boat transfer to Santa Cruz Island for dinner hosted by fisherman and family.

    Ecuador Amazon Cruise - After the Galapagos Islands, probably early July 2025. This adventure begins in Quito and after a short flight to Coca, we'll board a motorized canoe for a short journey down the river before reaching the Manatee Amazon Explorer for our welcome aboard. A local naturalist guide will give an introduction to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Some of our activities will be a nighttime forest walk, canoe trip on the Panayacu River delta, nature walks with local naturalist guides, kayaking and swimming in Piranha Lake (not as dangerous as it sounds!).

    We're working with Adios Adventure Travel to plan this awe-inspiring adventure. Adios Adventure Travel helped facilitate the Women Outdoors trip to Machu Picchu in 2022 and we loved it so much we asked them to help us out again.

    Right now, we're just looking to see how many Women Outdoors members would be interested in joining us on this incredible adventure.

    Click here for a detailed description of each segment of the trip.

    Once you've had a chance to dream about this trip of a lifetime, come back to this web page and register your interest.

    There is no commitment to attend at this point; we just want to see how much interest is out there. You do not need to be a member of Women Outdoors to let us know of your interest in this trip at this time. Just click on the REGISTER button and let us know you're interested.

    If you want to come, check your passport's expiration date. It must be valid until at least January 2026.

    Our South America Adventure 2025 is open to only members of Women Outdoors. You can join right now by clicking on Join Us.
