Pirate Ski & Yoga Chill Weekend: Killington

Are you a Boston millennial looking for a fun, easy way to truly relax and shred snow?

Come hang out with us on our first ski trip of the season to Killington [The Beast of the East in Vermont], and meet new likeminded people! There's gonna be Pirate Yoga [what's that mean? come find out], meditation and of course skiing. Show up without any level of skiing or yoga experience needed and have a great time! You can get ski/snowboard lessons + rentals directly from Killington if you've never skiied before.

About the Host:

My name's Alaska [RYT], and I run Peace Out Ski + Wellness Club - we're a high-energy mindfulness club that hosts ski trips in the winter, plus unique yoga/meditation classes in Boston year-round! I'm a professional yoga/meditation instructor with over 300 hours of certification and love sharing fun mindfulness with people :)

We do fun party themes for everything like Pirate Yoga, Hawaiian Hot Tub Meditation, Indiana Jones Meditation and more! The vibe is more like going to your best friend's costume-cocktail party where you just happen to feel more peaceful after, not sitting in a boring meditation class :)

Come alone or with a friend to hang out, this is a friendly, casual and super chill, inclusive environment.

Retreat Overview

The retreat kicks off in Boston with a carpool to Killington (about a 3-hour drive). We'll arrange carpooling in advance to ensure everyone has a ride and can split gas costs.

We'll depart Boston on Friday afternoon, no later than 4pm. A few days before the trip, we'll start a group chat to confirm a specific departure time that works for everyone - we could certainly leave earlier (around 2 or 3pm) to beat rush hour if people are free. For past trips, most participants have taken a half day or left work a little early on Friday.

We will be skiing Saturday + Sunday. We'll leave Killington no later than 4pm Sunday after skiing, to get back to Boston by 8pm.

------

Your ticket includes everything you will need for a good time:

• Lodging for 2 nights [Friday and Saturday night] at a fun, cozy Airbnb, located near Killington. Everyone will have their own real bed - no arguing over who has to take the sofa bed!
• A full weekend of unique mindful activities, led by a certified yoga/meditation instructor:
• 2 Pirate Yoga classes [one Power Yoga and one Restorative Chill]
• A Pirate Themed Sensory Meditation experience, adjustable for all levels
• Surprises :)
• Optional group ski runs on Saturday & Sunday (for whoever wants to ski as a group, we'll hit the slopes together when we start in the morning, and again in the afternoon after lunch, but feel free to send it at your own pace and no worries if you wanna do your own thing and catch up w/us later!)
• Come back to Boston refreshed and restored after this retreat, ready for the next chapter of your life
• This will be a chill group for our first trip of the season - only 6 people max on this trip to get to know each other!

FYI : Please note that lift tickets are not included - You will need to buy this directly from Killington if you don't have a season pass/Ikon Pass, same for if you need rental skis/snowboard or professional lessons - get these at killington.com For any first-timers I would recommend getting one of their packages that includes a lift ticket for each day, lesson and a rental ski/snowboard since it's cheaper that way. If you've never skiied before and aren't sure what to get, feel free to message me at [email protected] for some tips!

Please be prepared to chip in for gas for your carpool driver, and be responsible for all other personal costs. This includes meals at restaurants/bars over the weekend, which will likely be our primary dining option. If the group decides to buy shared groceries for cooking at the Airbnb, those costs would also be split among participants.

This retreat welcomes all skill levels - no specific level of experience needed to join! The vibe is laidback, silly, meaningful and chill, and meditative [without the "work" of meditating].

More specific Lodging Info:
There are some rooms that have 1 bed (private room) and some rooms that have 2 beds (shared room). If you get the Private Room add-on at checkout [for just $20], you'll be guaranteed a private room. Otherwise, the default will be that you'll share a room with someone else, you'll each have your own bed [we'll try to match by gender but can't guarantee it due to there only being 4-6 people on the trip.] If you strongly don't want to share a room with anyone, feel free to grab the Private Room add-on.

If no one chooses this add-on, we'll assign rooms randomly either the day before or once we get there. There will be 2 bathrooms for us all to share.
