In alignment with our mission, the cost of our program is $20. However, if this presents a financial barrier, IST will cover your program fee. Simply use the code “inclusive2026” at checkout.
Please note that uphill tickets are not included; they can be purchased online or in person for $20, and this $20 can be applied toward a full lift access ticket if you would like to stay and ski at Bromley after your program.
Alternatively, an Uphill New England (UNE) Season Pass covers the uphill access needed for IST programs, eliminating the need for additional uphill tickets. The UNE pass also provides access to 18 partner resorts across New England, expanding opportunities for everyone to experience mountain adventures on their own terms.
With similar programs typically costing around $70, we are subsidizing $50 per participant to make this experience more accessible.

Uphill rental gear will be available from the Potter Brothers Shop at Bromley. Standard AT demos are typically $90, but will be offered to IST participants for $75. Specific pickup details will be shared as we get closer to your program date.
For sizing questions, refer to our rental size guide or contact Potter Brothers.

8:00 AM: Rental pickup begins. After collecting your gear, head to the IST check-in area to get ready for the day’s program.
8:15 AM - 8:45 AM: Check-in for your program at the downstairs area of the Fairbank lodge. After checking in, use this time to prepare for the tour and ensure you're ready to be on the snow by 9:00 AM. Volunteers will be available to assist with gear setup, including skins and bindings, and to answer any questions you may have.
9:00 AM: Head outside for introductions, where participants will share information such as their name, pronouns, what brought them to the program, where they typically ski or ride, and any previous ski touring or split-boarding experience. This is also a great opportunity to meet fellow participants and build a sense of community before starting the tour.
Note: Timing from this point onward will vary depending on the pace of each group.
9:15 AM - 9:30 AM: Begin the ski touring and split-boarding ascent. Volunteers will be available to assist as you set off on your uphill journey, ensuring you’re comfortable and confident throughout the tour. The uphill route we utilize offers a steady yet manageable climb, allowing participants to enjoy the surroundings, engage with other participants, and get into the rhythm of the ascent
10:15 AM - 11:00 AM: Reach the top, then begin transitioning for downhill skiing or snowboarding. This includes removing your skins, adjusting your bindings, and preparing your gear for the descent. Allow approximately 15 minutes for this transition before heading downhill.
10:50 AM - 11:30 AM: After completing the uphill tour and once everyone has transitioned for the downhill portion, we will ski or snowboard back to the base. At the bottom, there will be time for questions, final discussions, and an opportunity to connect with other participants.
12:00 PM: Program concludes.

At Inclusive Ski Touring, no participant will ever be dropped or rushed. Our guides and volunteers ensure everyone moves at a comfortable pace and feels supported throughout the experience.
We believe that ski touring and splitboarding is for everyone, and our No-Drop Policy reflects our dedication to fostering a community where all participants feel valued, supported, and empowered to enjoy the outdoors

Occasionally, cancellations are necessary due to weather or volunteer availability, and all program dates are subject to change. If your program is canceled, please contact us for a refund.

This program will follow the approved uphill route at Bromley of Lower Thruway → Upper Thruway → Runaround 1. The route gains about 1,400 feet (427 meters) over approximately 1.3 miles (2 kilometers).
-
Participants must be confident in descending green terrain while skiing or snowboarding. We are not downhill instructors, and you are responsible for your own safety during the downhill portion. Skiing or snowboarding is done at your own risk.
Our tours focus on creating an open, welcoming environment for all. Negative attitudes or judgment towards others will not be tolerated. This space is intended for learning in a supportive, safe atmosphere, and for meeting other like-minded individuals.
