What is Madness In The Mountains (MITM)
MITM is a statewide skateboard-related scavenger hunt that happens all across Montana beginning on June 21, 2026 and runs through August 16, 2026. It is a project created by the Montana Skatepark Association (MSA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization who has been funding and building free, concrete, public skateparks in Montana for over 20 years. To date, the MSA has contributed over $2 million dollars to skateboarding in Montana. During MITM participants use an app on their smartphones to complete missions and earn points. The person with the most points at the end … wins!
Who is Madness in the Mountains for?
Participation in MITM is open to anyone and everyone who would like to get involved and help support skateboarding in the Treasure State. There are no restrictions of any kind. MITM is open to all ages, genders, skill, etc. Unlike previous years, we have decided to remove the fundraising challenge of MITM to focus solely on the fun skate missions, but anyone with an internet connection and a desire to support us can get involved by making a financial donation to the MSA via our support page. All funds raised are tax-deductible and will go towards building parks and promoting skating in Montana.
For the skate challenge of MITM, since many of the challenges that participants are asked to complete are location based, being somewhere in Montana, or having the ability to travel to Montana, will be necessary.
When does the Madness 2026 happen?
Madness in the Mountains will kick off on June 21, 2026 and running through August 16, 2026. After the contest has ended, lightning will strike and we will have an awards ceremony. Since 2026 is the 20-year anniversary of Missoula’s MOBASH skatepark, we will combine events and have our awards ceremony during the party at the park on September 26, 2026. More details to come on that whole shebang!
