As one of the fastest growing manufacturers of US made skis and snowboards we get to partner with a lot of like-minded people and organizations. We're in a unique position to provide charities with a product that really resonates with our local Colorado culture.
We often design a custom top-sheet for the charity on one of our best-selling ski models for a raffle giveaway or silent auction, allowing the cause to raise funds to use as they see fit.
With space at a premium as Denver continues to grow, we're also able to provide a venue for fundraising events at our Craft Skiery. This includes donating our staff time and using relationships in the community to provide beverage service, as well as our contacts in the music industry to host a fun event that can reach more broadly than the charity may be able to provide without us.
Due to overwhelming volume, we are unable to respond to any requests from schools.

Meier Skis is proud to support the Wells Fargo Cup. It is the longest-running professional ski race in the country and the largest fundraiser for the
National Center for Disabled Skiers. The energy and enthusiasm around this event is incredible and the support they provide to athletes is immeasurable. It's felt in our local Colorado communities and we've heard athletes say that they "wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for NSCD".

Cuchara Mountain Park and PSC are committed to providing affordable, family-friendly skiing and outdoor rec experiences so that more Coloradans and visitors to our state can participate.
In 2000 the ski area in Cuchara, CO, located about 3 hours south of Denver along the Southern Sangre de Cristo range, closed after two decades. This had dramatic effects on the local year-round economy and for years residents dreamed of the area reopening. In 2017, a community effort raised funds for Huerfano County to purchase roughly 50 acres of the old base area to become a public park and provide access to the old ski runs on USFS. This is now the Parker-Fitzgerald Cuchara Mountain Park and with its creation, the dreams of returning skiing to Cuchara and bringing life back to the abandoned ski area became closer to reality.
Panadero Ski Corporation (PSC), a 501c3 non-profit, was formed in 2019 and began work to rehab the old Riblet double chairlift, known simply as Lift 4 that is within the Cuchara Mountain Park. Funded by donors and work by volunteers with ski industry experience, PSC is now close to having the lift ready for Colorado state inspection and certification and with-it returning skiing to Cuchara after 22 years.
Meier Skis supports PSC with ski donations for silent auctions and by using platform to raise awareness around their project to drive fundraising efforts. You can help with their
fundraising efforts and learn more here.
We love working with Friends of Berthoud Pass, who helps promote avalanche awareness. This organization doesn't have a space to host large classes and Meier Skis is able to provide free classes to the outdoor community out of our Denver Craft Skiery™.
As the Colorado backcountry continues to serve more and more population, an educated user population serves to keep backcountry skiers and motorists alike safer so they can return home safely after a day of adventure in the mountains.
