Overview

Mission

Miramar Ski Club is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run club offering four-season skiing, boarding, biking, hiking, kayaking, and socializing, centered on its lodge in Waitsfield, Vermont. We also like to provide personal support. A Miramar member on your trip will show you the ski school and rental office and answer any questions you have. We’re able to provide financial support for first-timer lessons due to the vision and generosity of Barbara Huntley, a founding member of Miramar who left money in her will to support people who wish to learn to ski with Miramar, and other members such as Seymour Israel who’ve generously followed Barbara’s example. We’re thrilled that you’ll take part in perpetuating Barbara’s amazing legacy. About Barbara Huntley.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

SUPPORTED - 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
