ABOUT

We are obsessed with uphilling (aka alpine touring, aka backcountry skiing, aka skinning). Whether you are a trail runner looking for winter recreation or a veteran ski mountaineer, skinning up a mountain and skiing down is the best combo of exercise and fun out there!

​

But winters in New England can make accessing the backcountry unpredictable, unreliable, or unsafe. Ski resorts, with their outstanding snowmaking operations, offer a reliable outlet for ski touring enthusiasts.  

 

But many ski resorts aren't sure they want to encourage uphill skiing due to the new challenges and complexities to ski resort operations and minimal additional revenue. Uphill access is at risk of going away at many mountains. 

​

To ensure uphilling becomes a permanent fixture at ski resorts in New England, we are partnering with them to make uphilling worthwhile for everyone involved. The multi-mountain pass will make uphilling administration easier and more valuable to ski resorts, while also creating value and convenience for uphillers. Our goal is to make uphillers a valued set of customers who ski resorts want to visit their mountains.
