More kids on snow.
Reasons behind the season–equal access to mountains, support local children, preserve tradition, fuel lifelong resilience and maximize impact.
Because the mountains teach more than balance — they teach courage, community, and confidence.
The People Who Make It Happen
At the Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation, we believe every child in the Gunnison Valley deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and growth that snowsports offer. Our mission is to empower local youth by providing financial support for snowsports programming, ensuring that more kids can get on snow and thrive.
