Stoked’s Snow Mentor: New York program officially entered its seventh season this past Saturday, January 7! Thanks to our partner organization Children of Promise and our amazing staff and volunteers, 28 students from City Polytechnic High School and Brooklyn School of Collaborative Studies spent the day practicing their S-Curves at Belleayre Mountain.
Not only do students and volunteers learns this invigorating action sport together, but each program day there’s a theme to support a positive structure around the experience. Saturday’s theme was creating vision for one’s future.
Students and volunteers spent 4.5 hours on the slopes and all but four students were able to ditch the bunny slope and ride the lifts by then end of the day. Eight students were returning Stokers, having snowboarded with us last year, and these guys and girls were hitting up the blues and blacks and even the park. Yes folks, there’s a steep learning curve for Stoked snowboarders.
Food was generously provided by Hickory BBQ and Kind. Special thanks to our photographer for the day, Meghan McGarry. Below are some of her awesome shots; more to come!
