78. Chauncy and Kelli Johnson with ‘Snow Angel Foundation’ and Preventing Ski and Snowboard Collisions So Everyone Can Ride Another Day

Chauncy and Kelli Johnson experienced tragedy on Christmas Eve in 2010 after a snowboarder collided with Kelli and their five-year-old daughter, Elise, while they were skiing. Elise and the snowboarder both ended up passing away, and Kelli spent several months recovering from a traumatic brain injury. It was because of these experiences and the passion they have had for skiing their whole lives that they decided to start their 'Snow Angel Foundation'. With this foundation they began the campaign ‘Ride Another Day’ to encourage safety and awareness for skiers and snowboarders and others recreating in the outdoors. They’ve taken their story and message around the country to ski resorts and classrooms to help educate others on the importance of being aware of personal behavior while recreating and being a good influence on those around you.

We’re starting ski and snowboard season and I thought this message was an important one to help share, but I also wanted to share Chauncy and Kelli’s story of resilience through tragedy and how they’ve decided to use their hard experiences to help teach and educate others.
