      Founder

      At Positive Altitudes, we believe every kid deserves to have a chance to experience the positive impact, freedom, and fun that the sport of downhill skiing delivers. Organized and Operating as a 501c3, Positive Altitudes is established with the purpose of providing kids in under resourced communities the opportunity to learn and experience the wonderful sport of skiing.Winters can be long in Wisconsin! Skiing has provided us with many benefits throughout our lives to both our physical and mental health. It has offered the physical benefits of exercise, getting outside, and breathing in the fresh air while conquering new skills. Perhaps even more impactful skiing provides a place free of the daily stresses of being a teenager. It's a place to have fun, build confidence, and recharge your battery. Show less
