Our Story

The idea of establishing a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging freestyle mogul athletes came from the simple desire to give back to a sport that has given us so much.

A substantial need exists for freestyle mogul athletes that many in the community do not fully realize.  We all know it is immensely expensive to train, travel and compete at all levels of the sport.  However, once an athlete reaches the U.S. Ski Team, most of us assume that the athletes’ expenses are at least covered.  That unfortunately is not always the case.  It is surprising to learn that many of the athletes must pay their own expenses to compete at this elite level.         

There are so many obstacles for athletes on their journey to the top, some can be overcome and some cannot.  Now that these athletes have finally made it to the top, there is a major hurdle that stands in their way.  When one represents the United States in international competitions, they are able to bring our nation together.  But unfortunately they do not receive any government funding and only a select few see any assistance at all.  That is where the ID One Foundation steps in.  One of our significant first challenges is to get the entire United States Freestyle Mogul team funded.

Freestyle mogul athletes train and travel extensively year-round and their unusual schedules make finding employment challenging or nonexistent.  We realized that to pay for these expenses many of these athletes turn to fundraising on their own.  What if we helped all these athletes by bringing a community of freestyle mogul supporters together?  It was the spark  that led to the establishment of this nonprofit dedicated to helping all these athletes.    

Our commitment as a nonprofit organization is to distribute all the donations raised to support freestyle mogul athletes and the sport of freestyle moguls.  We do this through a pledge from our board members to pay for all the costs associated with raising funds, overhead and organizational costs on behalf of the ID One Foundation.  Our board members receive no salary and board members are specifically ineligible from receiving any support from the ID One Foundation.

ID One Foundation is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code effective year of exemption 2013, EIN 46-2939264.

Mikaela M. Wilson

Mikaela is our newest board member as of 2019.  She was raised in Frisco Colorado where she skied for the Summit Freestyle Ski Team.  She also attended Colorado Mountain College and then graduation from University of Utah in 2020 with a degree in Kinesiology. Mikaela is now the Mogul Program Director for Park City Ski & Snowboard. 

Mikaela started competing moguls at a young age and progressed very quickly. Her first Nor Am was when she was 13 years old.  She spent 9 seasons on the US Ski Team where she took off on the World Cup circuit. She won the first World Cup of the year in 2015 in Ruka Finland. She also got 2nd place in Japan in 2013. She has countless top 10s on the World Cup Circuit, she recently retired in 2018 to pursue school and give back to the freestyle community. 

She has dealt with the financial drain of the sport through all levels and has countless stories and ideas on helping athletes like her achieve their dreams.  She is very passionate about the sport but also very passionate about helping other people achieve what they can without the financial worry.  Skiing is already very expensive but the travel and lodging expenses that go into competitive skiing is even more.  Mikaela has seen a lot of progress already and strives to eliminate these expenses for athletes so they can focus on getting the skiing and training they need.
