Invest in education.
Invest in the future of the ski industry.
The Mountain Foundation is a 501c3 scholarship fund founded in 2019 by the National Ski Areas Association. NSAA believes in growing and diversifying the ski and outdoor recreation industries, and in preparing the next generation of leaders for the challenges ahead. This scholarship fund will give our best and brightest ski industry employees increased access to education with the goal of taking their ski careers to the next level.
