Move Forward Together, Vermont:
In this session, participants will join staff from the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation to learn more about Move Forward Together Vermont, a strategic vision for Vermont’s outdoor recreation future. We will discuss how the ski industry can support the health of Vermont’s outdoor places, the wellness of Vermonters and the economic strength of our communities.
Outdoors for All
Join Keynoter Mirna Valerio, aka “the Mirnavator,” for a workshop to explore how we can create welcoming outdoor recreation spaces for everyone and why it is important and how it can benefit your ski area. Following the session, Mirna will deliver a high-energy keynote address that is sure to help you understand what equitable access to the outdoors looks like and how we can make it happen.
