Although recently split from her husband as well, Kathy Smeland of Calgary, Alberta, has enjoyed women-only trips for more than 15 years. Her getaways have included camping and running a half-marathon on Vancouver Island, but last September she took her first dozen helicopter rides as part of a heli-hiking adventure operated by Canadian Mountain Holidays. She and two girlfriends enjoyed the women-only trip so much that they recruited a few more friends to join them on another Bodacious in the Bugaboos trip this September.
