Snow Angels Foundation, Ride Another Day Event
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM





 Co-founders Chauncy and Kelli Johnson have snowboarded and skied most of their lives. They brought this passion into their marriage and subsequently with their children. On Christmas Eve, 2010 a snowboarder riding at approximately 50 mph collided with Kelli and daughter Elise (5 years old). The collision resulted in the death of Elise and the snowboarder. Kelli sustained life altering injuries including a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and other injuries that she lives with to this day. Chauncy continues to struggle with the aftermath of the events that day. In 2016, he partnered with the National Ski Areas Association to promote ski collision awareness [Collision Safety (nsaa.org)]. This partnership resulted in the Ride Another Day safety campaign which the Johnson’s have promoted nationwide. Snow Angel Foundation was formed in 2023 in order to increase safety education and awareness while promoting the benefits of skiing and snowboarding.

Supporting the Muscle of the Soul with Michelle Berry
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM





 Back by request, this workshop returns so you can learn about the Psoas, “the muscle of the soul”. How it affects your physical and emotional body, affecting basic functions such as breathing and walking. Additionally, we will learn its effects on your emotional states, which in-turn cause strain on your sympathetic nervous system; causing symptoms of dysregulation, such as fatigue, weight gain and depression.

I will then guide you through a yogic practice to stretch and support the health of the Psoas, consequently creating a positive effect upon your entire being.
