Skiing has been woven into the fabric of Aspen Community Foundation since its inception. Throughout our 41 year history, Aspen Skiing Company and Aspen Community Foundation have partnered to blend philanthropy and recreation. Each year, Aspen Skiing Company has donated ski passes to support ACF’s fundraising efforts. This partnership has evolved throughout the years to reflect the goals and respond to immediate community needs.
Since 2012, the Ultimate Ski Pass program has supported ACF’s Aspen to Parachute Cradle to Career Initiative. This initiative is dedicated to improving the lives of children in our community. The generosity of Ultimate Ski Pass donors and Aspen Skiing Company has enabled ACF to innovate and serve community needs in real-time. Over the years, contributions have supported and aided in the creation of programs that directly benefit children and their families, such as Preschool on Wheels program and placing college and career counselors in each of the region’s 9 high schools through the Post High School Success Project.
In 2021, the $550,000 contributed by Ultimate Ski Pass Holders provided operating support to youth-serving nonprofits and backbone support for the Collective Impact Strategy.
This innovative program offers a unique opportunity to blend one’s passion for skiing with high-impact philanthropy. It is the only ski pass of its kind and offers unlimited skiing, uphilling and exploring at all four Aspen Skiing Company mountains. Additionally, this pass is completely transferable allowing holders to share its benefits with friends and family.
