Financial Support Programs

No athlete should miss the opportunity to participate because of financial barriers.

There are a number of organizations and funding programs that may be able to help families with the costs associated with Freestyle skiing/boarding. We encourage families to explore the programs below to see what support they may be eligible for.

It’s important to note that funding programs have different eligibility requirements and may only cover certain expenses. Some programs may cover registration fees, while others may provide assistance for equipment, lift tickets, camps or other participation costs..
