ANNUAL FUND – click to donate now

Contributions from supporters like you make it possible for us to go beyond the ordinary. A trail network and fleet as extensive as ours requires year-round maintenance and significant capital investment just to stay in place. Your generous and thoughtful donations help differentiate JacksonXC and make it possible to offer ski experiences to under-served populations, and a greater diversity of trail experiences to everyone than would be feasible with a conventional, “strictly business” mode of operation.

Please help support Jackson XC by donating today!

Trail and Capital Fund

Our trails and capital fund is the other most important aspect of our fundraising efforts. You have come to love JSTF because of our extensive trail system that is groomed to perfection daily. Though we already have incredible trails, they sometimes need to be relocated due to resource issues, bridges age and weaken, Pisten Bullys get tired and need to be replaced and lands need to be protected through executing stewardship plans and conservation easements. The useful life of our equipment and bridges is predictable, cyclical, and replacement can and is being planned in a regular sequence. Each is a capital expense which even in the best of seasons, sales of daily and seasonal passes couldn’t come close to funding. It’s a fact of life — money makes capital planning work. Not visible, is the work of Jackson Ski Touring’s board of directors in making sure the Foundation has all the equipment the staff needs to accomplish this task — not only this year, but for years to come. Providing the capital equipment JSTF needs to make your skiing great depends on your willingness to invest in JSTF beyond your trail pass or yearly membership. Every dollar you give is a real investment in your enjoyment of all the best JSTF has to offer.
