Mission Statement

— Board of Directors

A Nonprofit is Born

Amazing Ski and Snow People is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by members of the Alta Ski Patrol in 2019. Previously set up as a ‘slush fund’ to provide ski patrollers, their families and other ski patrols with emergency funds in times of need, Alta Ski Lifts Co. requested that the ski patrol set up a separate and distinct organization to handle these funds as well as create the proper channels for managing funds raised by our annual Groundhog Shirt sales revenue and other fundraising events. Amazing Ski and Snow People officially incorporated in July of 2019 and in September of that year we received confirmation of non-profit status from the IRS.

Presently, Amazing Ski and Snow People is run by an all-volunteer board of directors and has expanded its scope and breadth greatly since its inception in 2019. Along with generating revenue through our widely popular Groundhog Shirts, Amazing Ski and Snow People hosts over 100 incredible events annually, distributes funds to community members through a plethora of grants, scholarships and programs, as well as provides necessary support and infrastructure to the Alta Ski Patrol.

Amazing Ski and Snow People looks forward to a continued partnership with local businesses and nonprofits as it hosts events that bring the Little Cottonwood Canyon community together while enjoying skiing and the mountains.

Vision Statement

“Our vision for the future is: a ski patrol community where everyone has the support and opportunities to succeed on and off the hill.”
