Dear GMA Family, 

Thank you for being part of our community! We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of those who have donated in 2025 and hope to inspire others to support our cause this winter. This season has been particularly difficult financially for Green Mountain Academy, and, to be honest, we are struggling to meet our fundraising goals and bring our budget flush for the season. We need your help!

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to provide accessibility to high quality training, GMA is an exceptional snowsports training club. We strive to keep our program prices reasonable and cost less per training hour than other clubs and resort programs. We also provide financial assistance to athletes who otherwise would not be able to participate. In our efforts to fulfill our mission, we have awarded over $40,000 in scholarships this season and over $135,000 in the past five years to 36 talented athletes. 

This season, GMA asks for your help to ensure we can continue to meet the ever-growing need for assistance and live up to our mission. Every little bit helps. Please consider making a tax deductible donation today in any amount that suits you. 

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Noah Labow, Executive Director

Jason Trask, Founder & President

Rachel Rose, Operations Director

Mission

To positively influence the culture of snowboarding and freeskiing by facilitating the development of exceptional youth athletes in snowsports and life while expanding access to create diversity in success.

What the Athletes Say

“[Snowboarding] gives my life a sense of purpose.” 

“I am happiest, on the mountain, riding with my friends. My teammates and coaches helped me become a better snowboarder and person.”

“Having a coach who…is always cheering you on and giving you advice… gives you a huge boost. Some of my coaches would even go beyond…to help me out with the normal things in my life, like recommending me for a job.”

“[My] experience taught me something important: success isn’t about avoiding setbacks, it’s about meeting them head-on, adapting, and refusing to give up. My coaches at GMA stood by me through the entire process, pushing me to become a better rider and a stronger person.” 

Behind the Scenes

The GMA Training Hill was launched last season and the stoke was high! We’ve been working hard all summer and fall to complete a variety of upgrades such as a new build for the upcoming season. We have new rail features and are adding a 20 foot wall ride to the mix!!! Keep your eyes open for more info in the coming weeks.
