Bodacious Girlfriend Getaways

The Ultimate Girlfriend Getaway!

Hosting “Bodacious in the Bugaboos” with Angie Smith is a huge highlight of my year! I treasure the time I spend in our wild, untouched and, for me, soul soothing mountains with such amazing and inspiring women. Our CMH team – the fantastic guides, the lodge staff and our chopper pilot – embrace our spirit and pamper us from morning to night so we can do what a group of Bodacious women does best! We laugh, we hike, we cry, we drink, we dance, we learn, we do yoga, we breathe, we hug, we laugh some more and most importantly, we share the gift of friendship on this amazing girlfriend getaway. To everyone who has come on Bodacious over the years, thank you for making each and every trip so special and unique.

What are you waiting for? Bring a friend or come on your own. Be Bodacious with us in Summer 2010. I’ll be there to welcome you with open arms!

"Bodacious in the Bugaboos surpassed my expectations...the comfort of the lodge, the nurturing food, the expertise of the guides and all the staff, the small details every step of the way - from wake-up yoga, to high-fives on a mountain top, to wind-down wine as we all shared our 'wow' experiences of the day. And there were many! With the support of Ellen and all the guides/ naturalists, I not only embraced the magic of the mountains, I challenged myself to go beyond my limits...and did it! Every woman should get the chance to connect with her Bodacious self in the inspiring Bugaboos." -- Meridith M., Calgary, Canada
