Ladies Clinics
What could be more fun than a ladies’ day on the slopes of Blacktail?! Ladies Clinics are a great way to make new friends while improving turns on your favorite runs. Come and ski in a supportive and fun group with our PSIA certified instructors. These clinics are great for those who have experience skiing but are looking to hone some skills, increase your confidence, get outside and have fun! At the end of the afternoon, we invite you up to Muley’s Bar & Grill (located on the 3rd floor of The Lodge) to share a drink together (on us) and enjoy a live performance by local artists each week for our Mountaintop Music from 3pm until 5pm. Ladies Clinics are every Friday through March.
