Rumor has it…

People are pretty excited about Sisu.

We get it—whether you’re buying car insurance or a new sippy cup for your toddler, it’s important to do your research. Here are a handful of reviews from the past six years of Sisu Ski Retreat to help inform your decision about where to invest in yourself, for once.

  • "I have been to two Sisu retreats and loved them both. Whitney is a really great teacher and has helped me go from a super beginner/baby giraffe to someone confident on my skis. Not only do you learn so much, but the connections with other amazing women are invaluable. I would do a Sisu retreat every weekend if I could!"

  • “I came to Sisu with the hope of learning to skate ski, but left with so much more - a filled cup, a happy heart, new friends, and a renewed passion for getting after it in the depths of winter. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

  • “I cannot say enough about this retreat. Whitney made learning to skate ski SO fun and approachable—even for me (a total newbie). I learned a ton over the course of the weekend, and yoga with Gina was the PERFECT compliment to the weekend’s skate ski offerings (and I don’t usually do yoga!). I left the weekend feeling rejuvenated, stoked to skate ski more often, and incredibly bonded to this awesome group of women. I’ll definitely be back next year.”

  • “I went into this weekend a little apprehensive because I've never been on a pair of skate skis. I wasn't sure what to expect, but from the moment I walked in Whitney was super warm and gracious and made me feel comfortable. The rest of the group was amazing as well and I never felt judged for my lack of skills. Whitney is a great instructor and curator of a wonderful weekend experience.”

  • “I had the most fabulous time. The ski lessons were phenomenal. We had ski in/out cabins with privately groomed trails. The food was top notch and they were so accommodating to dietary restrictions. I loved curling up in my cabin in front of the fire. Highly recommended for a unique getaway!”

  • “This was the perfect blend of connection with nature, community, and personal down time. It was a first for me to be away from my young children and it was a delight to learn how to skate ski with Whitney. The yoga, the food, the excellent instruction, 5 stars!”

  • “This is way more than a ski and yoga retreat. It's a magical step outside of your everyday life where you get to focus on YOU for three whole days! When is the last time you did that?? Imagine being with a dozen inspiring and bad ass ladies, in a beautiful setting, with three delicious meals waiting for you every day from people who love their land and serving guests. Then add to that, three ski sessions and three yoga sessions, a happy hour and FREE TIME! Count me in for next year!”

  • "This retreat is perfect for beginner students or advanced in skate ski and/or yoga. Whitney knows how to break down techniques so even those first time on skis will get it. Gina is such an amazing instructor for yoga as she knows just what the body and mind needs after a day of playing on skate skis. This retreat will have you coming back year after year!!!"
