Spyder's goal as an organization is to do our part to ensure that snow keeps falling and tree runs remain untouched at ski areas near and far while working to bring skiing opportunities to underrepresented communities. Achieving these goals requires the cooperation of individuals, corporations, industry and government, so we partner with leading outdoor organizations to help us reach our goals.
Spyder and the National Brotherhood of Skiers have come together to elevate opportunities for those coming from underrepresented communities in the sport of competitive skiing. Spyder's goal is to provide access for qualifying individuals to equal coaching, training, education, and evolution in the sport of skiing. Thus, providing a pathway to the Olympics, University Programs, or Competitive Instruction through our newly established scholarship program where we will select 3 athletes each year to pursue their dreams.
Our neighbors right here in Boulder, Colorado are leading the charge for personal and corporate action on climate change, and we are proud to be members of the POW Foundation. Founded by snowboarding legend Jeremy Jones, POW is helping educate, motivate, and amplify the voices of the outdoor industry to help protect the land we love to recreate on. POW remains our sole ski industry brand partner because their mission matters to us.
