years ago. There are currently 550 kindergarten
to Grade 4 students enrolled
in the program, which provides free ski
and snowboard lessons at Cochran’s
Ski Area.
“I wanted to find something in our
community that could bring kids together
and find ways to help them be
active,” Godfrey said.
A grant from Share Winter has allowed
Snow Motion to purchase skis,
snowboards and boots so the kids can
spend more time on the hill and less
time getting fitted for rented equipment.
The new equipment also cuts
down on the program’s overhead and
enables Snow Motion to expand into
other schools in the district.
“It was beyond our capabilities to
raise that money and continue to pay
for the program,” Godfrey said. “We
wouldn’t have been able to grow without
that help.”
One unintended consequence of the
Snow Motion program is that it’s gotten
the parents of participants back on the
ski hill.
Grassroots impact
Share Winter only provides grants to
non-profit ski areas, youth serving
organizations and public school programs
focused on snow sports participation
in the long run.
In Richmond, Vt., a group of elementary
students are reaping the benefits of
the organization’s funding.
Snow Motion Richmond was founded
by Richmond Elementary School physical
education teacher Brian Godfrey six
