Sponsor or partner with us
We work with gear brands, shops, resorts, lodging providers and local businesses. 36 sponsors and four venue partners made our 2026 season possible. Here is what we can offer and what we need.
Why partner with us
We put people on snow who are not currently in the market for anything, and we put them there with a positive first experience and somebody trustworthy standing next to them. In 2026, 569 unique participants came out with us and most of them had never toured before. Every one of them needed skis, boots, skins, layers, somewhere to stay and somewhere to rent. That is a genuinely new audience rather than a reshuffled one.
What we can offer
Cash sponsorship
Named recognition on this site, in our annual impact report, in our newsletter and on social. Tiered as Overall, Summit, Treeline and Base. We had one overall sponsor, six Summit, thirteen Treeline and sixteen Base in 2026, thirty-six in total. Ask us for the current tier sheet and what each includes.
In-kind gear
Often more useful to us than cash. Gear that gets under the feet of our participants removes the single biggest barrier after money, and it puts your product with somebody making a first purchase decision within the season. Demo days at our events are also possible.
Venue partnership
We run at four resorts and we are careful guests: approved uphill routes, tickets bought, policies followed, and a volunteer coordinator per mountain. Venue partners get named recognition and, more practically, a stream of new uphill customers who buy tickets and rent gear.
Lodging and hospitality
Our participants travel. Three of our four lodging partners offer our participants a discount, and all of them get named on our lodging page and in every pre-program email.
Program and scholarship sponsorship
Fund a specific program or a specific set of scholarships and be named against it. Blizzard Tecnica's Women 2 Women program and the Hilaree Nelson Fund do this for our women's backcountry day, and it is the model that works best for everybody.
What we ask
A conversation, and honesty about what you can actually do. We would rather have a small commitment that repeats than a large one that does not. We are also happy to say no to things that do not fit, and we expect the same.
Who already does this
Thirty-six sponsors and four venue partners backed the 2026 season with cash, in-kind gear, lodging and services. Every one of them is on the wall below, in the tier they supported at.
