Mission, Vision, Values
MISSION
We connect backcountry skiers and mountain adventurers who want to find reliable partners, explore safely, and share the stoke of finding the "perfect line" in the Pacific Northwest. Together, we celebrate exploration, community, and respect for the mountains we love.
VISION
Our vision is to build a vibrant community that inspires adventure, friendship, and respect for the backcountry. We aim to be the go-to resource for safe, responsible exploration in the Pacific Northwest — because no one’s ski gear should ever sit collecting dust when there’s fresh snow to chase.
VALUES
-
Adventure: We embrace the thrill of exploration, seeking out fresh snow, hero dirt, and pristine peaks in the vast backcountry of the PNW. We believe that adventure is the heart of our club, and we encourage all members to push their boundaries and discover the unknown.
-
Community: We believe there are power in numbers. We believe in the power of community to support, inspire, and strengthen one another as we conquer the challenges of the backcountry together. Our shared experiences create lasting bonds and unforgettable memories.
-
Stewardship: We are dedicated to preserving and protecting the natural beauty of the PNW. We commit to practicing "Leave No Trace" principles, promoting responsible outdoor ethics, and actively participate in avalanche trainings to be prepared when things don't go as planned.
-
Fitness: We believe in the holistic benefits of physical activity in the great outdoors. Through skiing and mountain biking and cross training, we strive to improve our physical well-being while connecting with nature and developing lifelong fitness habits.
-
Education: We are committed to providing opportunities for our members to expand their knowledge of the backcountry. We offer training, workshops, and resources to enhance safety, technical skills, and awareness of the unique challenges presented by our region.
