Finding Joy Among Black Skiers at ‘50 Years of Soul on Snow’

"Vail Mountain provides thrilling snowboarding and skiing experiences. Visitors often find joy and laughter, even when falling. It's a place where beginners can learn with the help of attentive instructors like Charlie, who offer guidance and encouragement. The mountain is also a venue for events like the National Brotherhood of Skiers' 50th-anniversary celebration, which brings together over 2,000 Black skiers and snowboarders for activities including snowshoeing competitions, scavenger hunts, uphill ski races, and ski sessions with snow pros. The mountain is not just a skiing destination but a place where people can connect with their community and experience a sense of freedom and pride."
