Turns Made Better, Together.

Friends On Hill

Join us and experience the thrill of skiing and snowboarding while making new friends! A licensed non profit based in Bozeman, MT – and beyond.

Friends On Hill is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit in the state of Montana.

Friend On Hill’s Community Learn To Ride Program offers adults who lack the financial means the opportunity to learn to ski and snowboard, free of charge. Paired with the same Learning Group for the entirety of the Program, this unique, shared experience not only empowers individuals to enjoy the mountains but also fosters personal growth, perseverance, and community.

Our Mission

Friends On Hill educates and empowers the community through skiing and snowboarding, focusing on safety, etiquette, and skills training. We provide financial support to underserved
adults to ensure access to winter sports, fostering community growth both on and off the mountain.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create an inclusive community where all individuals have the opportunity to experience the joy of skiing and snowboarding, while building lasting connections and promoting a healthier, more active society.

2025
We hosted a Free Community Ride Day at Bridger Bowl every Sunday, for 10 weeks – bringing together 33 new friends on hill.

2024
We hosted a free weekly (Wednesday’s) kickball game for 9 weeks! Bringing together over 40 people during the summer.
