Moments like this are why we exist — to open up the world of winter sports to Black youth who’ve never been given the chance to belong on the mountain.
We’re proud to partner with Ikon Pass to help make the mountains more accessible to our community. Through this partnership, our supporters can access exclusive discounts on Ikon passes — offering discounted access to 60+ destinations worldwide.
We’re always looking for partners who want to join us on the slopes and see the impact of empowering the next generation.
