Even if your family spends midwinter break elsewhere, you can still treat yourself to a magical snowbound weekend! Mom will love decompressing from school break with an AMC guided winter hike in the White Mountains for womens+ participants. AMC’s womens+ experiences are led by women, trans and non-binary folks for members of these marginalized genders, and we create a warm and welcoming environment for winter exploration. Book your guided adventure here.
