Equity Pricing

Moxie offers equity pricing. Prices are built so that guides are paid a living wage. We publish a cost for every course and then ask you to “pay what you should”. That may mean paying more for your time with Moxie so that someone who otherwise couldn’t afford it can be there too. That might mean you pay a pro-rated fee or take a course with Moxie on a full scholarship. Please reach out prior to booking if you would like to speak more about the cost of this course or ways to sponsor another skier/rider.

**Moxie understands that the playing field isn’t level for all peoples, and that some consistently face an uphill battle. Historically backcountry skiing and riding has lacked representation from all peoples. Moxie believe’s that everyone should have access to high-end technical instruction and guiding.**
