Ski smarter. Ski stronger. Ski like a girl. Free Women's Ski Demo Day at Loveland Ski Area April 2!
At Loveland Ski Area, you’ll have the chance to test the newest women’s skis — back-to-back, in real conditions — without the pressure or chaos of a typical demo. Our team curates the best selection from top brands, set up specifically for women, and we’re right there to answer questions, share insights, and help you zero in on what feels best underfoot.
It’s more than a gear test. It’s a supportive, fun, and refreshingly different way to discover skis that actually work for you. From confident cruisers to adventurous powder seekers, women of all levels will find something that elevates their day on the hill.
Pre-registration isn’t required, but it really helps. If you sign up in advance, check-in is quicker and you’ll spend more time skiing and less time filling out forms. Walk-ups are always welcome too.
