Front Range Powder Factory’s Annual New Years Backcountry Hut Trip
I live with a family member who suffers from mental illness. You are doing great work. Keep at it.
– Steve
I grew up in Evergreen in a skiing family. My mom has worked at Loveland Ski Area for about 30 years and my brother is also in the business. Skiing has always been a love as well as enjoying the beauty of Colorado. So I can appreciate your passion for skiing and the outdoors. Maybe more so, I can relate to a single mission of ending suicide. For me, as well, this is my life’s work. I’ve had a life long struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide. About 5 years ago, after a suicidal crisis, I chose to start living a different life. I have written a book sharing my story, Opting In, and speak often in communities and schools about the signs of suicide and how to safe a life. I taught 2 FIRE Within classrooms last year. I’d love to talk with you more about your mission and how we may be able to assist each other with similar purpose. I so acknowledge and thank you for the difference you are making.
