Snowrider Project

The Snowrider Project seeks to fulfill Surfrider’s mission of protecting ocean water quality by keeping it clean upstream, in the mountains where snow enthusiasts recreate.

The NWS chapter’s Snowrider Project, originally based out of Glacier, embarked on a “Green Ride 542″ program to decrease the enormous number of cars traveling to Mt. Baker Ski Area, thereby protecting the North Fork of the Nooksack River watershed. To accomplish this goal, Snowrider Project has teamed up with Mt. Baker Ski Area to connect AlterNetRides.com to the ski area’s website to help coordinate carpooling. This service is fast, easy, and free. In addition, Snowrider hooked AlterNetRides to the Ski to Sea website.

Other projects:

Snowrider adopted the loop section of the Mt. Baker Highway at Heather Meadows.  The first clean-up is on July 26, 2009!  In addition, Snowrider was on hand for Ski to Sea to coordinate garbage and recycling for the race segments held on the mountain. Stay tuned for future clean up opportunities.

Snowrider also held a summer film series in Glacier on the lawn behind Graham’s store. Stay tuned for next year’s program.

We are currently looking to find a person to take over  the Snowrider Project.  If you are interested, please e-mail Eleanor Hines at nws@surfrider.org
