Program is currently offered to those age 18 and older, intermediate skiers/snowboarders and above.

The U-MOST Approach

Erik “Yoda” DaRosa leads U-MOST. He has been a professional ski instructor since 2010.

U-MOST = Unlocking Minds On Snow Together. These 3-day, small-group winter retreats incorporate mindfulness, yoga, skiing, and snowboarding into an incredible wellness experience. The sessions are led by professionals with the goals of helping participants improve their emotional wellbeing and accelerate personal growth. These retreats are the first of their kind.

For winter 2024/2025, U-MOST retreats are being held at Aspen Snowmass, in Snowmass Village Colorado. Retreat participants will ski and snowboard at Snowmass and at Aspen Highlands.

Currently, U-MOST is being offered to those age 18 and older who are intermediate or above skiers or snowboarders. We plan to offer U-MOST to other groups in the future.

U-MOST retreats are designed to promote emotional wellbeing by being intentionally active in nature and leveraging mindfulness activities. Attendees will re-ignite or enhance their own wellbeing by learning new skills, exploring possibilities for personal growth, making stronger connections to themselves, and creating a new community through connections to other participants and providers.

Each U-MOST retreat begins on a Thursday evening and ends on a Sunday evening. Each retreat provides:
  • 3 full-day lift tickets and 3 days of on-mountain guidance from highly experienced Aspen Snowmass pros. Each pro will take 3-5 retreat participants on snow.
  • 3 lunches with the larger retreat group.
  • 2 dinners with the larger retreat group – a welcome dinner Thursday night and a closing dinner Sunday night.
  • 1-3 hours/day expert-led yoga and healing sessions:
    • 3 yoga/mindfulness morning sessions
    • 2 mindfulness late-afternoon sessions, which may include music or journaling
  • A gift bag.

U-MOST retreats will divide up participants into small groups of 3-5 people based on skill level, for example, those skiing/riding blue runs or those skiing/riding black runs, and based on topics each participant has identified as being important to them. Each small group will go skiing/snowboarding with an experienced Aspen Snowmass pro who will guide the group, helping ensure everyone is comfortable on the terrain and that everyone gets to know each other. Pros will guide conversations on chairlifts and gondolas to include every participant and carry through the theme of the day. Other providers, such as U-MOST mindfulness and yoga professionals, will join the ski/snowboard groups on snow to continue to build on themes established and relationships formed earlier in the day. All on-snow groups will come together with all retreat participants and staff for lunch, approximately 10-15 people total.

At U-MOST retreats, we’ll offer yoga and mindfulness activities that anyone at any level can do. Our experienced professionals know how to work with people who are new to a practice or who are more experienced, so that everyone will get the most out of it. Our retreat mindfulness sessions will be held with all participants together – 10-15 people.

Yes, for an additional cost, you can arrange for an individual session with one of our providers. They will have limited availability and can arrange something that works for both of your schedules.

A U-MOST retreat is $6,000 per person.

No, lodging is not included in the retreat price. We will give you a discount code for lodging at Limelight Snowmass. We are also happy to recommend other lodging options in Snowmass, Aspen or other nearby towns – send us an email at amgits.reverse@gmail.com. You are also welcome to stay with a friend or family member who is not attending the retreat.

If you have an Aspen Snowmass season pass or a pass that offers you 3 full days, including weekends, or you have an Ikon pass that includes 3 full days at Aspen Snowmass (you may be required to have an Ikon Base Plus Pass), U-MOST will provide a $200/day discount for your U-MOST Retreat. For example, if you have a full Aspen Snowmass season pass in your name, we will take $600 off your retreat price. Please mention this when you are applying.

Yes! The U-MOST team can create a customized retreat for you and up to 12 people – your friends, book club, cousins/family group, or whoever you choose. We require a minimum of 8 participants. We ask that you provide us with 60 days advance notice. There’s no better way to enjoy your time in the mountains than surrounded by close friends, family, and loved ones and a private retreat can elevate that to a whole new level.
