Overview

Mission

The organization works with local schools to provide school-age children the opportunity to utilize skiing and snowboarding equipment at a nominal cost so that all area children will have an opportunity to participate in and enjoy those sports regardless of their financial ability.

What it reported doing in 2024

Junior program provides snow sports opportunities for children that may not otherwise be able to experience them.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 62% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
