Who We Are

Have you ever been asked about your home mountain? Your local rivers and trails? Did you have an answer?

If so, consider yourself lucky. Opportunity and access to the outdoors is something many of us grew up with and take for granted.

In 2026, CORE will continue our focus on producing snowboard and ski-focused events, while expanding our reach, network, and programming to multi-season recreation, with the same purpose: creating access, building community, and fostering inclusivity.

Join us, fan the flames, create change.

What we do

CORE is a catalyst for community-building and gathering. We are a non-profit designed to help other nonprofits: through the production of fundraising events we act as an intermediary, linking brands with our network of regional nonprofit partners across North America.

We work to secure funding which directly supports organizations providing outdoor and action sport opportunities to underrepresented youth.
