PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE CHANGE COLLECTIVE
My Wicked Dude Mission Statement
My Wicked Dude is a brand of passion and community. Our goal throughout the four seasons is to bring together like-minded people to do amazing things in the outdoors. Like minded people come from all walks of life and our goal is to bring more diversity to that space. We encourage people in and or outside of our community to find your passion which leads to finding your tribe. Like Seth Godin said, A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate. Our shared interest in the outdoors and our way of communicating is sharing those interests to bond and community.
This will create opportunities for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts to explore new experiences with like-minded people in a safe space, connect with nature and tell stories that have been untold. This is the beginning of something new and exciting, we can’t wait to share this experience with you.
Khai Bhagwandin, The Change Collective.
The Change Collective is a movement to change snowboarding and skiing into a more inclusive sport. We've been here, we are here, and we want to change how the sport is represented. Let's find each other and build our community. The Change Collective centers the voices and experiences of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color). Join our community and come ride with us!
The city of Steamboat Springs acknowledges that this land is part of the homelands of the Indigenous Ute Tribes. Steamboat further acknowledges the continual fortitude of indigenous culture of Native Americans today. We will work to uplift Native Americans and strive for equality in our communities and beyond.
The goal of BIPOC Signature week is to focus front and center the BIPOC Talent that has been overlooked in the snowsports community and an opportunity to connect with and respect the land that has given us so much to be grateful for.
The Goal of this trip is to focus on Storytelling, Experiential Healing and Gratitude to the land and our brothers and sisters.

TRIP PLANNING

Can I book a private room?There are no private rooms on the bus, as the Commodore bus is a hostel-style setup. Hostels are designed to be social hubs that enable you to have fun with other travelers so you will be sharing a space with others.
-

-
How do I book a room with someone I am traveling with?Depending on the trip, each suite has two booking options: A "private" booking secures a suite for one person traveling solo while a "shared" booking is for persons who wish to have a roommate. If you are looking to book a shared room, the price is per person. You may purchase two spots at checkout to fill the room with both travelers and reserve the suite, or each traveler may independently purchase their spot under "shared" and leave the name of their desired roommate in the comments at checkout for MWD Staff to coordinate the bookings. Please note that a shared room will have two travelers, so if you select shared but are traveling independently, you will be matched with another solo traveler to share the suite with.
-
Do I need to rent a car?Transportation to/from the airport at scheduled times will be provided by MWD along with transport for all group planned activities and is included in the trip package.
