The girl’s trip. Where chaos ensues, your cheeks ache from smiling too much, the bubbles are always on ice and bonds are formed that will never be forgotten. The ski trip. Where powder day beats Christmas Day, your heart pumps endless supplies of adrenaline, everything is seen through rose-tinted goggles and the days end with orange, glowing mountain tops.

Now introducing the ultimate girl’s ski trip, Women Who Ski. Ready for its own cinematic debut as the next hottest chick flick, this event combines girl power with some of Austria’s freshest powder. Cue some Cyndi Lauper and the girls will get their Winter fun.

Kaluma Ski have written a unique opportunity for women to steal away their own slice of a mountain this January. Afully catered, champagne-laden, luxury chalet offers the opportunity for ski enthusiasts, women who want to ski, or those who fancy something new to come together and simply have fun!

Organising luxury ski holidays for over 20 years, Kaluma Ski are well versed in the art of snow-capped splendour. Based in the affluent resorts of St Anton am Arlberg and Courchevel, expectations are everything and exceeding them is even more. Since 1996, directors, Andy and Richard are experienced seasonaires themselves, always on the hunt for how to keep pushing the boundaries, endeavouring to go off-piste and make fantasy a reality. Well, here it is: the ultimate, only girls aloud, ski holiday of a lifetime.

A male-dominated sporting arena, the world’s white mountain tops can be an intimidating, slippery slope for many female rippers. Where the men ride alongside their bros, Kaluma has created a space for the aspiring and thriving Bettys too. Launching in Winter 2019/20, Kaluma’s first Women Who Ski trip found new friendships, confidence and the itching desire to just do it all over again. With not one but two more trips in 2021/22, the numbers keep growing, with an incredible 50 women coming together to shred over the past year. Finally, with a much less complicated and ‘Covidy’ Winter season approaching, this year promises to be the best sequel yet.

With guaranteed snow and excellent piste conditions, the Austrian resort of St Anton am Alberg plays the role of the perfect host. As part of Austria’s largest inter-connected ski area, Ski Arlberg, alongside St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth and Schröcken, guests will be spoiled with over 300km of marked slopes and 200km of off-piste terrain. Not one to boast quantity over quality, St Anton is also a founding member of  ‘Best of the Alps’, known for its sensational off-piste powder and deep reliable snowpack. In this scene, your very own ‘knight-ess’ in shining armour, local WWS guide, Geli Hiesel stars to show you the slopes with an introduction to off-piste. Popular with expert skiers, runs here are also frequented by families and intermediates. Especially, with Kaluma’s cast of guides here to support their leading ladies, St Anton provides a perfect setting to work your way up – literally, as the highest lift reaches 2,811m!

As the snow parts through the pedestrianised streets, the town itself is lined with endless restaurants and bars, world-renowned for its vibrant après and nightlife. A movie-moment girl’s trip could never be complete without a night on the town and Kaluma make sure of it. After sharing a lift with your new girlfriends, the storyline will certainly take you to share a few cocktails at the numerous live music venues across the lanes.

Nestled into the heart of all of this buzz lies Chalet Montfort, your 4-day home from absolute dream home. A modern Alpine stay, just a five-minute walk away from the nearest ski lift, you can find another right inside the chalet, ascending to its very own peak on the top floor and boasting views of the mountain at each stop. Natural wood and stone materials, as well as complete bookshelves decorate the walls lit by warm candlelight.

Ten exclusive en-suite bedrooms provide an escapist sanctuary for some well-deserved rest, whilst the comforting, generous living space, complete with a roaring open fireplace welcomes the entire group to sit around and get to know one another. Filled with stories of the latest rips or maybe a few early face plants, the space writes itself with episodes of likeminded women coming together to share their experiences. Not to mention the cosy cinema snug, spa facilities and yes, the open private chalet bar with never-ending champagne, this is the ultimate place for any Chalet Girl to “CHILL OUT!”.

Swapping the salopettes and boots for dressing gown and slippers, crossing the threshold, the director shouts ‘cut’ and time is yours to wind down from the mountain. Enter, Lucy from Kaluma Ski, your local host and queen of detail, closely followed by Zoë de Pass, ‘Dress Like A Mum’ entrepreneur, designer and lover of snowboarding. From your go to for flight transfers, to organising a driver service, 24-hour concierge assistance and a teamer on the slopes, think of these two like your fairy godmother, but twice as good!

Another one rolling up on the credits is the chalet’s personal chef. A fully catered breakfast is prepared to fill you with energy for whatever the day has in store and afternoon snacks allow for some replenishment before the evening begins. Teasing your tastebuds, pre-dinner canapes precede a four-course evening meal on three evenings, allowing for some room to taste the delights of St Anton’s local restaurants on the fourth. Of course, no meal would be complete without an exquisite selection of premium house spirits, beer, wine and soft drinks, all for your endless consumption.

Not everyone is a die-hard ski bum, so other leads are available to swap the snow for something more sweaty. Yoga sessions can be pre-requested and the in house, private sauna and massage/treatment room offer the perfect pampering end to a day’s session. Another bonus and more personal touch, every guest is gifted with their very own WWS goodie bag. Supported by a number of incredible brands, such as Snow Finel Skiwear, Sweaty Betty, Panda Optics, Haglöfs, Lumity Life and Off Piste Spirit – the list could go on – the surprises inside are enough to make any influencer giddy. Thanks to this and, of course, all of the amazing memories made with your fellow ladies of leisure, this is a place hard to forget in a hurry.

Kaluma Ski have written ski-loving women into the roles they were born to play here at St Anton. Far from the competition and seriousness of the sport, from the 15th-19th January, Women Who Ski is all about sharing the best of the alps with the best. A bit of good food, lots of laughs, ski chair chats and the alluring call of this luxury lifestyle.

That’s all they really want. Some fun!
