. move along. this is cool competition. nicely stuff out there. when you to me, valentine has a very different perspective. at least the executive vice president of the national popped the hood of ski is. and this is what he told us a little bit on. yeah. when it comes to snow sports, one of the challenges that people of color encounter is findings. and you have these of individuals look like us when we want to go skiing or right. fortunately, there are organizations out there like in b as much spin around all the time that have the express mission of exposing people . what colors are winter stores to exposing people of color to winter sports. that is exactly what i x or panel or a valid to do. and that dick's is founder and ceo of h outdoors. that is an organization welcome to raise the visibility of black indigenous women of color, and went to sports and joins us from seattle. adrian syiaa,

isaac is director of marketing and communications at the u. x focus national school hours association, and she joins us from summit county, colorado for them. and lots of kayla is a storyteller of action, sports culture, and is also a board members to back and staples who's in los angeles highlights and also get to have you. and he's going to be easy because how horace stories of things of happened to you as people of color on this. so that's easy, more challenging though, to start with the positive, the best experience she was hacked and then on the sipes as a woman of color in your glory doing a thing. okay, so um there's many best experiences on those clubs, but um, since i've started doors, one of the most liberating and powerful experiences is bringing other women to colors. this floats, says tran,

saint clair and watching them flourish and build their own communities and walk through the stage of self actualization. so yeah, i would say that that is the most rewarding and best experience that i've had a savannah for me and it still wouldn't change my life. i moved from new york city with my family to an area of southern california that happened to revolve around skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding, just up the road. and once i tried it, it literally changed my, my life, the joy, the freedom of being able to be your entire being and challenging gravity and expressing yourself through sliding down a mountain. but i never got to see it in reflection. and so from, for, for many, many years i felt like and only, and i didn't feel welcome on the mountains, but the joy that i was getting in the mountains was something that didn't allow people to, to take this long feeling. welcome on the mountains. feel like um,

what is that gives us an excel. it looks, it looks like being asked in the lift line. what are you doing here or no, i didn't. i didn't know that you people do this. that's so cool to which you reply i what do you mean by, by you people literally. yes, yeah, this is this sort of people just constantly being shocked at your presence and being in the space that subliminally they think is just for them. so they're always just like, oh you, you, you do this to, or maybe they can say is, are the white snow is for white, full full and that. right? right. so i definitely align with tell them i was saying is like when you walk, when you put, put on this snow, your presence is being examined and scrutinized. they're looking at you like wow,

what are you doing here? i know, personally, i've experienced my progressions on a daily basis. for example, you know, i'm a ski instructor for like 5 years. but when i'm outta uniform, um, you know, uh the biases and the on conscious biases. they start coming out, for example, like, you know, going to chair lift, you know, it's at full speed, but as soon as i hit the line, the chair lift automatically slows down in the constructor. right? yes. and then moving down from the clean up the slopes. of the 2. 0, all right. yeah. and then um, just like, you know, being a stewart or the community being a community member of the mountain. this key area and a representative at times i'm on the tour left and i'll be sitting next. so guest, and they'll tell me i'm out of my element, but they have no clue that i work on the mountain. so and i just have to share

another story. and i remember like my 1st day on this of i would just like so excited, but i would just like going through a lot of things and dealing with a lot of micro aggressions. and i was, you know, it didn't, it didn't affect, you know, my overall experience because i was in a place that, you know, i never thought i would imagine being anyway. and here i am. and those cache very like an allied just giving some coffee. and all of a sudden i heard some ears say, hey look, there's a unit car. and i started like looking around and i was like, oh there's, there's a unicorn visit and the going out of my head. yeah. well, i didn't know they were talking about me. i was a little bit, you know, kind of, you know, a little slow. but i was like looking around the room and then i finally realized that you know, you can acquire and it was being used identify my blackness. so that's the 1st time

i was exposed to like verbal, my progressions on the hill or cobar racism. so yeah, and here's the thing going up to the top of a mountain at 6789000 feet. and in negotiating gravity in the quest of joy is already a very foreign thing for people of color or people who are been marginalized for the spaces. so being convinced that even that thing is going to be fun, is, is work for. i have to be convinced that this is, these are spaces, we're not to be able to plan, but then the walk from the parking lot to getting to the chair, lift, being more intimidating, then even that makes it so that if you have that experience, as you just described when you just get into a town, why do i want to go up there and risk my life? you, you instantly are like, you know what they're right, this isn't for me, and i will be taking myself back down to elevation. how does this change? i, i just,

i want to show our audience something which is look up how many people of color hit the us slopes of a number of different results from 2021 to 2022. and so if we're breaking it down into f, mrs to 80 percent of people who slopes in these number of results were white. and then down here, 5 percent, asian, pacific island, latino or spanish, or latino, spanish origin, 1.5 percent back at 1.6. is another race and point 6 percent in teaching is native american. it's really a disappointing to see how few people of color. so i came, i filled to the disappoint you to, to see that to people of color, enjoying something that's so beautiful and fun to do with it as a sport, or just as a leisure activity. what is, what do we do about that? you know, 1st i wanna just take my hand fellow pallets for sharing their stories and i wish i

could say was a 1st time i've heard anecdotes like that, but it's unfortunately not. and then we look at the original and this of the data of our seniors and riders that hasn't really changed over the past 10 years. and it's showing us at the national level, even though there are regional differences, that our culture is not welcoming that we have to do more concerted effort to make our staff and our leadership look more like what the us looks like. and you know, especially as we look at the younger generations coming out the most of 1st generation and us history is a, is getting older now. and that is a huge opportunity for us. no sports. but we have to do better on the inclusion and the culture side. and that, that starts with all of us in positions of leadership at the sky areas. i wasn't bringing this out, excuse me. so i'm just gonna bring in festival the found and see of when to full

capes because what he talks about is creating a new culture culture. but everybody can go and scale, snowboard. curious, who is what he told us earlier? listen, i would just bill it off the back of it immediately to develop a culture, you have to change behaviors and know strange behaviors should be based on value. and those values are welcoming. that's by creating a safe space. empathy, which is acknowledging the uniqueness of everyone and their perspective embracing and celebrating authentic individual ality. and of course making sure that everyone's feel that they have a sense of belonging. yes. and, and here's the same. we can do all those things. um, at, at the,

at the base level to make people feel welcome to what the sky industry already does so brilliantly, in the way that they make billions of dollars is they target audiences and communities and people who live thousands of miles away from a mountain. and they relentlessly bombard them with images and expressions of if you come here to this place and have this this feeling and do this thing, this will become an active part of your lifestyle. and they analyze and really do we try and find those people and they speak to them really, really targeted marketing. and they begin at a, an exchange of relationship with folks who make it their destination. and that's something that the sky industry is so, so brilliant that, and i'm like, why don't you figuring out how to talk specifically to us and market to us because the biggest conversation that people like to have is like, oh well, you know that people don't have money, yes, there are barriers financially, but amongst black and brown people,

we also have an immense amount of spending in capital. and we like to have fun. but the sky industry does 022 big. they're not figuring out their end of the problem to say, how do we speak to directly these people and get them to come here and see to what the point that was made earlier that we are welcoming and we want to have this whole sales. i want to see if i can also that what i, i do. yeah. because you know what the majority of our marketers are white and that is something that needs to change in our industry. and it's not just, you know, finding folks from different communities. it's getting different perspectives, hiring different marketing firms, you know, getting people who, who understand the communities we're trying to reach out to and know how to talk and that, that's where i think. and i say has the most power to start with the staff things and encouraging ski areas to kind of look outside that, that very narrow viewpoint and find different places to post jobs. bringing in,

you know, people who don't look like you. it's very easy to have that unconscious bias when you're hiring. so how can we train that again, like our age, our people are gm's to st differently and also recognize are unconscious bias so that they can move forward and not authentic why. and now i want you to talk about what you're doing, volunteering, guess, but let me just go via, actually call me harrison because he talks about who are the gate to such? who are the need is here. you are one of the need is his entity over the past 10 years, i see more black people and people of color taking an interest in the winter sports . but the main industries that surround wintry sports will only value diversity, equity inclusion, as long as it's convenient. and my fear is that without plaque decision makers leading these industries sitting at the table, holding people accountable when it becomes inconvenient, i'm not sure it will continue to be a priority in

a word and it have a level with to yeah, absolutely. i agree exactly what he, what he's saying. i think we all need to realize that the success of the scanner story is built on the exclusion and the impression of others. we also need to recognize that, you know, when we have these white decision makers or anybody who is trying to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, in the sense of belonging that it takes a self awareness. we have to be a student of ourselves and a scholar of society and really digging deep until why we're here today in order to understand historically excluded communities. and i believe that, you know, when ever we're trying to promote some type for program medic effort. we're, we're in that ition stage of development. we need to sit down, we need to pause, right and ask, who is in the room, who is in a room?

do we have, you know, a black person does or need to be a couple of black people? does there need to be people with disabilities in it, or the women in the room? you know, are there indigenous people in a room? and through that, we're able to make really profound and powerful escalating change with an industry . but without that, you know, we're just kind of tech spinning our wheels. i believe it all begins with like self awareness and they were able to move forward on. you choose that. i want to show this and this is 12 of the lord aeck say that i grew up skiing and black diamond skia to this day, i salute you like diamonds. this is gary. it's crazy that there was a little black people no matter what. mounting ice gave my dad skate, and he was born in 55 and he started skiing as a team. once you start as a kid, whatever, whatever to you, all, whatever you all aware of it before and these little athletics um spectrum is kind

of hard not to keep going. why is it taking us so long for this to kind of a resume around the world in many different places where you can ski and it's pretty much the same around the world. so am i to help us out here? yeah, well the point was made earlier. how did we get here? yeah, these are spaces that were made exclusively as safe spaces for white people in the midst of integration. literally the last bastion of safety for, for, for white people to feel like we don't have to worry about them was the outdoors we saw in adventuring in the hiking we. we saw it in the ocean and we saw it in the mountains with these spaces were created. so unless we like own how we got here, that necessarily isn't going to change. i think the work that is being done by people of color to create access and to build reflection. you know, when we get to see ourselves in reflection,

that is contagious. but we can only do so much because we didn't create the problems. i have a mentoring organization that i started called still 18 you years ago. we use the principles associated with skiing, surfing skating and snowboarding and getting, getting kids that were at risk to experience falling down and getting back up and how to embrace that and who they choose to be. as a person, we watch kids lives, change all the time. but from, from, from these principles that make them feel brave to step out of, you know, maybe the 4 blocks that they've been told that they're only allowed to inhabit. so it's, i think it's, it's again in that, in that marketing and it's the storytelling of what it is. it's just being leisure . there's just far, much more here that the experience in the outdoors, skiing, snowboarding, etc. we're able to build better human beings and literally a better world. and until we start marketing and story telling with that experience in that way and then the again,

the industry taking responsibility for creating more access, you know, outside of just the resort. my. so how can we put tell ropes in, in, in small hills where people and kids can go to learn for $1520.00 as opposed to trying to spend $225.00 for a live ticket. which like, that's crazy. um, so one day you just put off so many if it was, well i could try this and he said this ticket and $250.00 and like okay, nope. have so no the drawing out of support just to see if you like it does for the it is but there, there was agents that are doing the work. you know, there's a hill in minnesota where they've done the work to create work with the state to install a tow rope at a public public part that have public park that happens to be adjacent to a white and a black neighborhood. and black people are able to come and become skiers, and snowboard is literally for $15.00 a day now and then building that relationship being and, and then figuring out ok,

maybe i want to move to the mountains, but they want to get a job. and it had that lifestyle, you have big snow in new york, which is an indoor deals where we have a, a ski and snowboard culture for kids who, who, who grew up growing would be able to ski indoors again, accessible. and then by 3 or 4 years or like okay, i want to move to a mountain. i think the future of what this looks like is creating more accessibility and the resorts if they're playing the long game, they should be investing in the accessible ways. and the affordable ways to create accessibility so that when people get capital as they get older, they're like, okay, this is where i want to go. the agent, i'm really interested, i'm just, oh, excuse me. you go 1st and then also i'll follow up questions, go ahead. go ahead. yeah, i have, i have so, so she mentioned vix now because honestly their business model is built for assess ability, especially in a sport with so much overhead. and so much so many terms to learn and so many things that you need before you even buy that $200.00 lift ticket. and i think really just making the process easier and bundling it together and giving people

kind of like this low risk. first experience, that is, that is tremendous. and also they have be the most diverse staff of any sky facility in the us. it is, it is really wonderful to see people thinking outside the box of what skiing and snowboarding looks like. and i want to talk about this very briefly, the companies who are doing the work, who's doing what controls may be just doing a little bit of jo floyd watching. if i can put it that way. all right, this is all right. so that by the way, this is mrs massey as asked to close out some of the work that's being done. uh curious, this is what he told us. over the last couple of years, there has been a big movement around creating more inclusion. i have seen a lot of ups and downs from companies. a lot of companies are doing really well,

either in their hiring practices or under investor teams or their marketing and media. and there's also a lot of other companies that are dropping the ball. and it's really easy to see the vast difference between the companies that are doing great work and also the ones that are not. all right, i know, so my guy got to what was just talking about or who's doing the work. um, so that seems one, 1st of all, the boss is an incredible ambassador, an ally of, of, of, of, of, of all marginalized groups. he also has one leg and i have gone and hiked and skinned up with a $12000.00 foot mountain with him. and he has beaten me by 20 minutes. um i oh, yeah. boxes uh is, is incredible. um, but there has been a lot of george boyd washing a lot of brands who decided, hey, you know what? we're going to get some, some people, and we'll put them in our clothes and we'll use them to say, look where we're inclusive, but they're not engaged with them. they're not paying with them. and more

importantly, they're not telling their stories and figuring out ways to create access. i'm biased, but being able to have a seat at the table that i received in the last 3 years as being an executive board member of the board of directors at burden. we've been able to do some really great work. we've created something called culture shift, is that it is solely built in bringing people together to be able to sit and reflection, experience the sport, and figure out ways to solve for access. you're looking at a picture of a, of zip. how, who also is the picture that you have in the back behind you from the x games? he is the great black hope of, of snowboarding, his mantra, his whole, his whole reason for snowboarding is professional. as a professional is to make the mountains more more comfortable. i'm actually in venice right now working with him on some future plans for, for, for brand. but being able to have someone like that where we have that visibility, someone is iconic to be like, oh, that guy is one of the best of the world that draws people to be to see that

reflection and, and in turn want to be able to have a piece of that experience, i would love i organized before we go to our experience like a who is a scans dropped and he was so low as the wells. and so didn't come with the most positive of takes a pop set of tools. and let's have a listen for i have not seen any real evidence of diversity or inclusion in my career, especially across europe. a no advertising, no imagery from sky schools or sky teach associations do any true difference was necessary to where i saw africans truly been excited in wanting to learn how to do some sports? i was teaching for free. some little use who will show is amazing kind of the world doesn't know about that. so there's a scheme result in the center and i want to type for that. let's check it out.

first. ok, hands on this course. i guess that's on the board. head up, um, i've been seeing a lot of ads on youtube and i just thought, i really want to try it, but i've never seen snow in my life. so this is really the thing. see that's the smallest someone here that was being on the space on this, on the mountains. all right, so, oh goodness me. so much want to talk about this and i'm gonna say annette. adrian, so lemme thank you so much for being on the show today. we really appreciate you and, and good luck and you are welcome making. we just spoke some more inclusive. i'm going to leave you with a great black hope of snowboarding, said how, thanks to watching. the next time, the, the,
