Greetings from the Brave Ski Mom on International Women’s Day

March 8, 2018 by braveskimom

international womens day #pressforprogress

I wish I could say I thought of making this video on my own. But I didn’t. Yesterday, when I opened my email, there was a message from Andrew Cholinski, the coordinator for the FIS Bring Children to the Snow initiative, which includes two programs close to my heart,  World Snow Day and Snowkidz.

How A Nonprofit With A Funny Name Drives Mountain Biking in Western Colorado

August 7, 2013 by braveskimom

lunch loop pump track

Last fall, I was asked to choose one non-profit organization for a magazine profile. It was a beautiful fall day, so after checking my email, I went mountain biking with a friend at Lunch Loop, a system of trails at the north end of the Tabeguache Trail that links Grand Junction and Montrose, Colorado.
