We teamed up with Deenaalee Hodgdon, a Coalition Snow Ambassador and the Creator and Host of On The Land Media, to create a scholarship fund for Indigenous communities to access avalanche training and backcountry skiing and riding.

In our two years of co-facilitating this scholarship, Coalition has provided 10 $1,000 scholarships and 10 pairs of skis/snowboards to an incredible group of humans who are furthering the mission of this initiative. 

You can meet the inaugural cohort here and meet our second cohort here.

Proceeds from all sales of our Skida x On the Land collection have supported this scholarship, as well as your generous donations.

When we think about the people who we want to partner with to co-create a future in snowsports that is diverse, welcoming, and inclusive, we couldn’t be more proud to partner with people like Deenaalee.
