Ski Racing Safety
Safety is cultural. We provide the education and advocacy to ensure safety is always part of the conversation.
Safety takes equipment. We provide grants to help ski clubs purchase b-netting, supporting trail widening projects, and purchase other safety equipment.
Since 2006 we have helped keep thousands of ski racers safe and continue to be a leading voice and advocate for safety in the sport of alpine ski racing.
Why Giving Matters
There are 12,000 new spinal cord injuries in the US each year. Help even more people find confidence, independence, and happiness through sports.
