We believe that the mountains are for everyone. The Canary Club produces positive mountain experiences for all generations.

We recognize the desire to authentically connect, not only to nature but also with each other, to strengthen community and sustain healthy environments. Our home is the mountains, they evoke our being, shape our creativity, invoke a kinder spirit and ultimately inspire us to take the initiative to do more.

The Canary Club brings together passionate people to be a part of the mountains - whether it be a ski film premier, a ski sauvage, a symposium on sustainability and art, a backcountry course for at-risk youth, a banked slalom, an avalanche safety course, etc. If it involves the mountains, inspires, connects, lets us grow, we’re in.

We carried out our first Canary Club in spring of 2019. Starting small with Canary Clubs in a few well-known locations, this is a program that will hopefully grow as we find the right local partners in more communities. Alpine Initiatives aims to help facilitate and manage these programs for start to completion with the help of our network of industry partners, media outlets and professional ambassadors. We truly believe that one initiative begets another and that ultimately time spent in the mountains can have a strong impact on the outside world.

Team

We are innately drawn to the mountains as skiers and riders. The founders of Alpine Initiatives recognized the potential in this passion for the outdoors and envisioned a unique non-profit to serve as a platform for inspired people to get involved. We fund programs, provide a network of support, and empower those who seek to accomplish a positive change in their own mountain communities. Alpine Initiatives helps the change makers, the startups, and the active volunteers harness and organize their energy to make their goals a reality.

Remembering JP

If you don’t know of JP Auclair, our founder, you should know the mountains inspired his being. They brought forth his genius, shaped his humble creativity, invoked his kind spirit, and ultimately took his life.


We gather every year to celebrate JP; the awesome mountains host the experience from which our new platform emerged. The silent power of the mountains is, and has always been, the answer.


So, that’s what we do. We foster authentic mountain experiences that pull you from the familiar to the untamed, a wild and beautiful place that nourish the body and mind.
