Ways to Support Mt. Holiday:
General Donations
Help fuel everything at Mt. Holiday.
Hill Champion Membership
If you know that gritty lodges with character marks, exclusive gear, and 2-person chairs are your jam, then get over here for a hug. We need all the family we can get and that means you! Hill Champions are the folks that let us keep prices affordable, and in return we have stacked up loads of membership bennies. Ski areas and MTB parks are expensive to build, maintain, and improve. Hill Champions understand that if enough of us give a little extra, then we all benefit. If you grew up in the midwest, you understand that the beginning of the journey toward your life’s most memorable runs didn’t start at a massive resort; they started at a place like Mt. Holiday. Without places like Holiday, we might have missed the opportunity to experience the joy of big mountain steeps or epic single tracks.
Snow Power Project
Over the past five years, Mt. Holiday has been working toward a snowmaking system that rivals the best in northern Michigan — one that gets us from bare ground to ski-ready in just three days instead of three weeks. In Summer 2024, Phase 1 became a reality. Interested in the science of snow and how Holiday is planning for the future?
Scholarship Chairs
At Mt. Holiday, no child is turned away due to financial need. Through the Holiday Scholarship, any minor can apply for support that may include a daily lift ticket, a season pass, and access to essential gear — everything they need to hit the slopes. You can help make this possible.
Mike Summers Fund
Honor Mike’s legacy and fund outdoor access for kids.
