“It\u2019s often said, that race doesn\u2019t matter or that color isn\u2019t seen. Yet, as a person of color, life has proven otherwise, through both positive and negative interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being born and raised in the NYC metro area allowed me to enjoy profound diversity. Now, living and recreating in beautiful Park City, UT, I\u2019m keenly aware of the rareness of black and brown faces in the mountain and outdoor environment. I know, no surprise there. Yet, the black skier and outdoor person obviously exist, but I\u2019ve found an apparent segregation in these spaces… not dissimilar to many other contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I once recall a local business owner remark that \u201cBlack people don\u2019t ski\u201d. These types of assumptions and experiences lead me to creating the Skiing In Color collection… where color is normative and celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever our background and cultures, there is much to celebrate. Normalizing these differences creates a better environment to live and partake in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often said that race doesn\u2019t matter or that color isn\u2019t seen. My preferences instead is to see our differences to better embrace them.” – Lamont Joseph White<\/p>\n\n\n\n
