SnowSchool Success!

By Lana Weber, Program Administrator
Surveys are still coming in, but early results show that SnowSchool had one of our most successful years ever. With the addition of eight new sites and more on the horizon, we reached more than 25,000 kids and 4,000 adults, and showed them the fun and excitement of being outside in the winter. As always, a huge thanks to REI, Atlas Snow-Shoe Company, Keen Footwear and MSR for generous support of SnowSchool! Before the snow begins to fly again, think about how you can support SnowSchool. By becoming a member of Winter Wildlands Alliance, you help support this program nationally and assure that our community of human-powered snowsports enthusiasts remains strong and vibrant into the future. If there is a SnowSchool site in your area, consider volunteering! Your active participation is extremely important. Together, we are the national voice for quiet winter recreation, and you can help be a part of the future advocates of our winter wildlands!
