World Kindness Day
| |
Snowbasin Ski Team Members, Alumni & Friends, | |
At SSEF, we believe that the relationships we cultivate are the heartbeat of our community, fueling both personal growth and athletic excellence. This World Kindness Day November 1st, we invite you to take a moment to spread positivity and strengthen those vital connections. Whether you send a heartfelt email, share encouraging words through a text, leave a thoughtful note for someone to discover, or simply greet the person beside you with a warm "good morning," every act of kindness contributes to the joyful atmosphere we cherish. Together, let's celebrate the bonds we share and continue to uplift one another, embodying the essence of our Snowbasin Ski Team. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to making our community a supportive and vibrant place for young athletes to thrive!

Athletes got to hug our own Gabe Pace when he stopped by on leave from his military training this month. We are super proud to support and witness the kind of humans that graduate from our program and go on to serve a larger community.

On a National scale, two of our athletes got to rub elbows and meet Mikaela Shiffrin this summer (Haylee Barker pictured.) As the ambassador for the Share Winter Foundation, Mikaela sees her record as an opportunity to bring more eyes and ideally, more passion to the sport. See what she says about her upcoming milestones in this article below. | | |
