General Feedback

This forum is for you to share ideas and exchange feedback with Mountaineers members, guests, volunteers, and leadership. You may vote for or comment on any idea and will be notified of its status changes. Your feedback helps us prioritize projects and improvements for our organization.

We receive lots of great ideas, so please search the forum before adding a new one. If your idea is not yet in our forum, please post it with a simple title and an explanation, and how it could benefit The Mountaineers. If you want to learn more about what we've already implemented and what is up next, please visit our Technology Blog. Thank you for your participation!

Please note that all our courses, events, trips, course-related activities, clinics, seminars, and lodge stays have forms for you to give feedback when you participate. You’ll get an email reminder to do so just after the activity. If your feedback is of urgent nature it may be best to contact the chair of the committee that sponsors that program directly. Not sure who the chair is? Visit our Committee Chair Directory or contact our Member Services Team at info@mountaineers.org.

If there was a safety incident or near miss, you will have the opportunity for submitting an Incident Report after submitting activity feedback. You may also use the Incident Report button on the activity detail page (from your My Activities page) or contact our Safety Committee directly at safety@mountaineers.org.

If you reached this site wanting to report problem behavior or harassment by another member, please submit a Behavior Complaint Form.

If you purchased books or merchandise and checked out or donated without having first logged into an account, we started an account for you.

  1. Allow leaders to set a later opening date for instructor/assistant sign up

    Allow activity leaders to set a later opening date for instructor/assistant leader sign up for an activity. Right now, you can only set a registration date for participants. Instructor opening date is automatically open as soon as the activity is on the website. This allows instructors/assistant leaders to sign up for activities potentially before the leader is ready for sign ups -- for instance, while a course is in the unpublished status, or when an activity is a backup date that the leader might not want to fill until the originally scheduled date is canceled. It would be better in…

  2. Allow setting start and end times, not just dates

    Currently, when an activity is created, you can put either one or multiple days, but cannot select the times. This is fine for hikes, which can have the date and time listed in the notes, but for meetings at the Program Center or other course activities that have multiple activities in one day, it would be beneficial to be able to set the timing for the activity as well.

    This could possibly also solve the problem of someone being unable to join a short hike in the morning of the same day that they have a zoom meeting at 7pm…

  3. Filter activities based on single vs. multiple day activities (camping, overnights, etc.)

    Today, users have the ability to search courses, seminars, and clinics based on if they are a single day or multiple day experience. The ask is to have a similar filter for activities.

  4. Add more details to Activity/Course alert emails

    When a new activity alert is sent, it would be good to include more details such as summary, leader notes and description. There are many trips that are for a specific audience and it becomes tiring to click on all the trips and get disappointed to not find a trip to register for. Even if we can add a summary to them (as we now see in the find activities page on the website), we at the committee level can ensure the leaders and important info in the summary, especially if the trip is restricted to a specific audience.

  5. Move Link to Request Leadership Permission Above Checkbox

    When an activity has Leadership Permission Required, the link to the application is at the end of the checkbox. The ask is to move this link to above the checkbox (or at least the first think in the statement) to make it clearer to students where the application link is.

  6. Semi-commercial glacier /basic climbs

    It is very hard to sign up for glacier climbs or basic climbs unless you are a student. There is a huge waiting list for those non-students and it is hard to track. Then it is hard to plan ahead if suddenly you are being moved from waiting list. I propose to create structure where there will be opportunity for paying extra but it will be for members who graduated from basic or have skills but don’t have time to track various waiting lists and just want to climb. I found zero climbs for non-students. I would gladly pay to…

  7. Delayed Send for Auto Email for Activities/Events

    I like to hold off on sending emails until the 1-2 days before and the registration has been closed. These emails include things like my personal number, weather conditions, and overall serve as a reminder. Most people find accessing an email from a phone easier than accessing it from the website (and I don't want to include my phone number on postings).

    Sometimes the ideal time to send an email conflicts with other activities (ie I might be leading a conditioning hike or doing a race the night before a morning run). To get around this, I will sometimes send…
