If you’ve made it this far…
…you know we’re working hard! Thank you for being here.
If you haven’t joined as a wild winter member yet, we hope this month’s Stash Blast has convinced you that you don’t have to think about supporting us only when the snow falls.
Even though “winter” is in our name, our work is year-round… and sometimes even busier in the warmer months! We hope you will consider becoming a monthly donor to support our work year-round.
A membership directly supports winter conservation, advocacy for human-powered recreation, and an educational program that gets more than 35,000 kids on snow each winter.
We’ll keep you in-the-know about issues affecting the places you care about, with opportunities for you to take action when it matters.
Join for $5 a month and that’s $60 a year you’ve contributed to our work. Or join for $10 a month and double your support. However you give, we hope you will consider joining today in light of all the work we’re doing and will do for years to come. We need you with us!

“It’s time for a fluoro-free future of ski wax! Fluoro wax contains nasty chemicals that never biodegrade and are a known carcinogen to animals and humans. Keep the watershed of your favorite ski mountain clean by ditching your fluoro wax.
Throughout May, our friends @mountainflowecowax are hosting collection sites throughout Colorado or providing the option for wax to be mailed in for safe storage and eventual disposal in line with EPA guidance. Ditch your fluoro wax and get some sweet mountainFLOW swag in return!”
