A limited supply of military passes are available for purchase with a U.S. Military ID at the Guest Services & Sales Center at Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows. Passes are good for the 2019-20 winter ski and ride season at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. 100 percent of the donations will support the Military to the Mountain program, and all guests are invited and encouraged to donate.
Created by the High Fives Foundation following the success veteran Marine Corporal Jacob (Jake) Schick achieved while skiing at Squaw Valley during the 2014-15 winter season, the Military to the Mountain program is a collective effort between the High Fives Foundation, Adaptive Training Foundation, the City of Reno, Achieve Tahoe and Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. Now in its fourth full year, the program is providing 22 injured U.S. military veterans the opportunity to train for nine weeks at the Adaptive Training Foundation in Dallas, Texas and the Double Diamond Athletic Club in Reno, Nevada. The training culminates in a week of skiing and riding at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows with Achieve Tahoe, taking place March 17-23.

Founded by Roy Tuscany, the Tahoe-based foundation focuses on preventing life-changing injuries and provides resources and hope if they happen.
