2025 Giving Tuesday: Matched Donations by Blizzard Tecnica
This Giving Tuesday, you have the chance to double your impact for Inclusive Ski Touring. Blizzard Tecnica has generously renewed their support with a 1:1 matching gift. From November 25 through December 9, 2025, every dollar you give to IST will be matched up to $7,500, unlocking a potential $15,000 to keep uphill skiing and splitboarding accessible.
In 2025, our programs welcomed 1,120 individuals across 63 events, and we provided just over $60,000 in subsidies so that cost did not have to be the deciding factor for joining. Those dollars turned into real people on snow for the first time with Open to All programs, Women’s programs, underrepresented athlete programs that centered BIPOC and LGBTQ+ skiers and riders, and a model where anyone can waive our resort program fees if they need to.
In 2026, we are focused on more opportunity in every capacity: more than 80 programs on the schedule, expanded backcountry offerings, two new locations, and a new IST membership to help people join multiple programs while sustaining this work long term. Every matched dollar during this campaign directly supports subsidized on-resort programs, backcountry program scholarships, and waived registration fees so anyone can join, regardless of what is in their bank account. It sustains BIPOC and LGBTQ+ specific programming with additional participant support, and it covers the backbone of our programs on snow, from permits and insurance to guide training and coordination that keep them safe and well supported.
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps keep the skin track open to more people every season. Together, we can create a more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible uphill community.
