“For over 20 years of owning Blizzard Ski & Snowboard School, giving back to the Twin Cities Metro Area has been a priority. We value supporting local communities, organizations and individuals through sponsorships, donations and scholarships.” – Jeff & Jen Lewin
Blizzard is committed to socioeconomic diversity in our programs, and to making skiing and snowboarding financially accessible to all families. We established the Blizzard Family Assistance Fund, fueled by donations from members, staff, and Blizzard itself to achieve this vision.
The Blizzard Family Assistance Fund has awarded nearly $90,000 to get Minnesota youth involved in skiing and snowboarding — lifelong activities the entire family can enjoy!
We’re not done yet!
Blizzard established the Blizzard Ski & Snowboard School Foundation to further support youth participation in snowsports. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — meaning your donations are tax deductible! (Consult your tax advisor for details.) We are excited about the opportunities this creates for programming and grants, like the fantastic 2025-26 Spotlight Project with Laura Jeffrey Academy. Learn more at blizzardmn.org!
