Give Big to Crosscut's Youth Programming

Give Big Gallatin Valley is coming up on May 6 - 7th. During this day long giving celebration, Crosscut is raising funds to help keep the cost of our youth programming accessible to community members.

Here are some ways you can get involved and invest in creating more smiles at Crosscut:

Donate. Please pitch in what you can. Each and every donation is greatly appreciated and put to good use!

Sponsor a Match Challenge: Join super cool humans like our Blue Coat Ambassadors, Alpenglow Family Dentistry and CLB Architects by sponsoring a donor matching ‘challenge’. Support Crosscut and motivate donors, whose donation is doubled during the challenge!

Share and share alike. Online days of giving are successful because of YOU. Help us grow our network by spreading the news with your network and ask your friends to do the same.

Be socially (media) active. Use your social media networks: post on Facebook, tweet about Give Big Gallatin Valley, and share your love for Crosscut and your other passions, whether it’s education, health care, the environment, or the arts. Ask others to do the same! Healthy peer pressure here.

Many hands make light(er) work. We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you.

Humbled to be Part of Our Community

Crosscut is a part of so many Bozemanites’ day-to-day routines. We are grateful to be your mountain recreation center, one that is welcoming to all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we were in the midst of hosting the NCAA Championships which abruptly ended as we pondered “now what?” with so many of you. The Crosscut team knew that we had a unique opportunity to be there for the community that has been there for us, day after day.

So much to be grateful for and so much to look forward to. Read about our winter season wrap up, summer program offerings and plans to expand into the Taylor Fork. Find the updates here. And, PS — remember Crosscut when it’s time to Give Big so we can continue developing our youth programming!

Crosscut is hiring an Educator for Summer Programs!

Crosscut Mountain Sports Center is seeking to hire enthusiastic educators for our Summer Education Program team. Our program strives to provide an inclusive and accessible opportunity for children to explore and learn about the natural world. Additionally, we work to provide an educational experience, learning through exploration and hands-on activities. This job is very active and requires instructors to be comfortable hiking with a backpack and able to be outside with students for 6+ hours.

About the Team:

Expanding upon the traditional model of professional skiing, the Crosscut Mountain Sports Center Elite Team is the first of its kind in the US to field a roster of cross country skiers, biathletes, and para nordic athletes. Standing on a unified foundation of the pursuit of nordic sport at the highest level, the team seeks to harness the individualities apparent in its makeup to optimize resources, increase development opportunities, and capitalize on its members’ abilities to inspire one another.

Qualifying 60% of our team for international competition in their respective fields in 2020, we will continue to give athletes the resources they need to reach their goals in and out of sport as we prepare for the 2022 Beijing Games and beyond.
