$15,000 Goal

GMNC grooms and maintains 50 km of Nordic ski trails on the Skyway, County Line, and Ward Trail Systems on the Grand Mesa, funded almost entirely by voluntary memberships, donations, and grants. We do not impose obligatory trail fees. Instead, we rely on voluntary support from our trail users. Please contribute generously so that we can continue to offer world-class Nordic ski trails open to the public. 

The GMNC has chosen to keep our membership fees affordable so that everyone in our community can belong. It’s why we offer low-cost student membership and discounts for families. But our basic membership fees are just the minimum. To meet our operation costs, we need extra donations. If you enjoy our trails and want to support our programs and grooming, please consider stepping up your contribution through Colorado Gives Day. Every extra dollar helps.

On the donate tab, you can select where to direct your donation: to general operations, to our capital reserve fund or to our Skyway Station capital campaign. Get info on Skyway Station here: https://gmnc.org/join/future. 

GMNC’s SKYWAY STATION - BUILDING OUR FUTURE campaign has been designated as an Enterprise Zone Contribution Project so donors to the campaign who give $250 or more are eligible to receive a 25% State Tax Credit. You can donate directly and request this credit here:
