We're stoked to announce that Mountains Not For Profit is now live and streaming digitally on our YouTube Channel!
Across North America, communities are reclaiming their mountains and redefining what skiing and snowboarding are all about. Mountains Not for Profit—our follow-up to In Pursuit of Soul—, is a short documentary from yours truly in partnership with the Indy Pass, that takes you inside four non-profit ski areas that are challenging the corporate-driven snow culture: Shames Mountain (BC), Whaleback (NH), Black Mountain of Maine, and Antelope Butte (WY).
These mountains prove that passion, grit, and a true love for the sport are all you need to keep the snow culture alive. Powered by volunteer efforts, donations, and pure joy on the slopes, this is grassroots skiing at its best—where people and purpose fuel every powder day.
Not driven by profit, but by the spirit of community, these mountains are where the heart and soul of skiing and snowboarding thrive, far from the distractions of mega-resorts. Mountains Not for Profit captures the essence of these vital ski areas and the people who keep them going, brought to life with TGR’s signature storytelling and cinematic expertise, alongside the Indy Pass.

This project is made possible with support from Indy Pass and BlackStrap. Enjoy!
