I was beyond excited when I was invited to ski by Laura, the founder of Girl Powder Retreats, who owns a beautiful chalet in Chamonix—Chalet Melezes. Skiing had been on my bucket list for years, and at 54, I finally had the chance! Heading to Chamonix, France, for my first ski experience, I felt excitement and apprehension. As a midlife woman—and a woman of colour—venturing into a sport often stereotyped as the domain of the young, affluent, or predominantly white, I wasn’t sure what to expect or if I’d fit in.
