Snow Angel Challenge Extended Through January
|
The Snow Angel Foundation (SAF) has extended its Snow Angel Challenge through the end of January, inviting skiers, riders, families, and even entire ski areas to participate while the Foundation conducts a nationwide tour of safety trainings and on-snow events during National Ski Area Safety Month. The Challenge is simple: make a snow angel—on the slopes, in your backyard, or even in the sand if you’re at the beach—challenge friends to do the same, and consider a $5 donation to support Snow Angel Foundation’s collision-prevention education. Proceeds from the Challenge will help fund safety awareness programs for race teams, youth groups, and young skiers and riders, reinforcing habits that reduce the risk of on-snow collisions. Even ski areas are joining the fun. Resorts across New England have begun challenging one another on social media, including a recent response from Cannon Mountain, New Hampshire, answering a challenge from Waterville Valley with a surprise guest—a sasquatch making a snow angel. |

“If a yeti can do it, why not you?” said Chauncy Johnson, founder and executive director of the Snow Angel Foundation. “The Snow Angel Challenge is lighthearted and fun, but the purpose is serious. Every dollar raised helps us educate young people and teams about awareness, speed management, and shared responsibility so we can prevent collisions and help everyone ride another day.” The Snow Angel Challenge runs alongside SAF’s January–February Safety Month tour, which includes employee collision-prevention training, youth safety presentations, and on-snow guest events hosted in partnership with ski areas across the country and into Canada. Founded by Chauncy and Kelli Johnson, the Snow Angel Foundation was established after a tragic Christmas Eve collision in 2010 and builds on the nationally recognized “Ride Another Day” safety principles. The Foundation focuses on practical education that promotes awareness, respect, and responsible decision-making on the mountain. “Safety awareness isn’t about restriction—it’s about looking out for one another,” Johnson said. “The Snow Angel Challenge gives people an easy way to participate, start conversations about safety, and support education that protects the next generation of skiers and riders.” The tour heads to Vermont this week with stops at Saskadena Six, Stratton, Magic Mountain and Burke Mountain. “Vermont was the first statewide partner with Snow Angel Foundation, and as a ski destination known for its sense of community, that’s been a source of pride for us,” said Bryan Rivard, director of communications for Ski Vermont. “Chauncy has built relationships with ski areas across the state—he’s more than earned his honorary Vermont citizenship at this point.” Tapping into the challenge is easy and fun!
