The Colorado Snowsports Museum has introduced digital memberships as part of an effort to make supporter access clearer, more consistent, and easier to manage. The update places the Museum alongside other cultural and mission driven organizations that have recently adopted mobile based membership experiences, including the New England Aquarium, the Catalina Island Conservancy, the Art Museum of South Texas, and the Lyme Art Association.
By moving membership credentials into a digital format, the Museum is aligning its supporter experience with everyday mobile habits while continuing to prioritize education, storytelling, and community access.
Preserving Colorado’s Snow Sports Legacy
Based in Vail, the Colorado Snowsports Museum is dedicated to documenting and sharing the history of skiing and snowboarding in Colorado. Its collections highlight the athletes, innovators, and cultural movements that shaped snow sports across the state, from early ski pioneers to the growth of modern snowboarding.
The Museum remains open and complimentary to the public, relying on members and donors to sustain exhibitions, programs, and events. In recent years, it has expanded its reach through online collections, virtual presentations, and digital storytelling initiatives that allow audiences to engage beyond a physical visit.
A Clearer Approach to Member Access
With this new digital memberships in place, the museum’s supporters can now carry their membership credentials directly on their phones. This makes it easier to confirm their status, allows them to stay informed about programs and events, and receive timely updates from the Museum.
Membership details can be adjusted automatically as changes occur, helping ensure accuracy while reducing manual work for staff. For a small team balancing collections care, programming, and community engagement, this approach supports smoother operations and clearer communication.
Why This Matters for Supporters and Staff
For members, digital access removes common points of friction. Benefits are always available, without relying on printed materials that can be misplaced or become outdated. For the Museum, the shift supports long term sustainability by reducing printing needs and allowing staff to focus more attention on programming, storytelling, and visitor experience.
The update also reflects how supporters increasingly expect to engage with cultural institutions: through simple, dependable digital tools that fit naturally into daily life.
