Trail Women

Who we are

We are a group of women who like getting together to hike, ski, and train together!  This group was formed in the fall of 2021 and we are looking forward to our fourth year together as a group.  We stay connected by communicating through a private FaceBook group and a google group mailing list.  Anyone in the group can initiate an activity.  For instance, if you know you will be out skiing some morning, let us know and Trail Women will show up.  It has been super fun meeting other Madnorski women who are interested in being active and outdoors.  

It doesn’t matter if you can attend all or just one event, it doesn’t matter if you have skied 50 Birkies or just started to ski last year—all levels are welcome! Come and enjoy a great community of women who enjoy skiing! This is a group aimed at the experience of women+ and is inclusive of all who identify as a woman, femme, or non-binary.

We look forward to seeing you at an event soon!

Get Connected

To get connected with our group, please be sure to renew or sign up as a Madnorski member by early September to not miss any fall activities. Then email Madnorski director Tamara Bryant. She will send you a link to join the private FaceBook group and will add you to the google group. All Trail Women must have a current membership in the club to attend events and be on the mailing list.
