The arrowhead team is here to push those turns a bit further and find even more joy in the pursuit of excellence on and off the mountain. Our mission is emphasized in the process, not the result.

  2. Outlaws - the outlaw way we offer professional coaching for athletes of all ages in a safe, fun, and motivating atmosphere. Our goal is to provide the opportunities, skills, and leadership for an athlete to reach their goals, whether thats just improving skills and having fun, or racing on the world cup circuit. Fundamentals are the key to success in any endeavor, especially mountain biking. Our athletes start each season in the parking lot, on pump tracks, and in video sessions drilling in the basic skills required to go really fast. These skills are learned and ingrained daily so when things get sketchy, their natural reaction is to stay relaxed and balanced to make it through any section of trail. Athletes enjoy one-on-one coaching in small groups with other athletes around their same skill level. Theres plenty of riding to practice their newfound skills and confidence and to challenge themselves on new trails and new experiences.

2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of UTAH MOUNTAIN SPORTS ACADEMY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 1 of 2 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of UTAH MOUNTAIN SPORTS ACADEMY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
