At Inclusive Ski Touring, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the outdoors, regardless of financial means. While we have reduced the cost of the Intro to Backcountry Program to $150—well below the typical range of $200 to $350—we understand that this fee can be a financial barrier for some participants.

To further enhance accessibility, we are proud to offer eight scholarship opportunities for this program. If the program cost presents a challenge, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship by completing the application below. The selection process will be conducted anonymously by our Board of Directors.

If selected, IST will cover 100% of the cost. Scholarship applications will remain open until all eight spots have been awarded. If you have questions about the process or ensuring your application remains anonymous, please reach out to zach@inclusiveskitouring.org.

These scholarships reflect our commitment to making backcountry touring accessible for all, fostering an inclusive community where participants feel welcomed, empowered, and supported in their outdoor journeys.
