Join Santosha on the Carrabassett for a long weekend of winter rejuvenation on the mountain: alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, fat biking, and more! Head up to Sugarloaf Mountain Resort and the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center (just 20 minutes from Santosha) for full or half days of skiing. Rent a fat bike and check out 50 km of groomed trails. Grab some skates and take a spin on the NHL-sized skating rink. Choose your own adventure: spend as much or as little time on the mountain as you like. New to skiing? Sugarloaf Mountain Resort provides excellent lessons, no matter your level of experience.

Meanwhile, Santosha provides all the programming you know and love from our Holistic Retreats every day, so you have plenty of options if you decide not to ski all day—four daily meals, three daily yoga classes, two daily meditations, our nightly dharma talk, and more. We teach mindfulness skills to apply to all your favorite alpine activities, too: how comforting, just to be present in nature! Spend the days swooshing through the snow, then return to Santosha for a good soak in the jacuzzi, a steam in our brand new cedar barrel sauna, and a hot toddy by the fire. Finish long days on the mountain with candelight Restorative yoga to rest your weary body. Whether you’re traveling alone or with a companion (even one who doesn’t want to ski!), know that you’ll be in good hands with plenty to keep you busy.
