Utah's ski industry is working to bring more diversity to the slopes by inviting people of color and those in the LGBTQ+ community to take part in an initiative called Discover Winter.

Participant Jackie Okullu said she likely would have never tried skiing or snowboarding without the program's help.

"It can be a little bit confusing your first time getting up to the mountains," Palmintere said. "'Where do you park? How do you sign up for a lesson? Where do you rent your skis?' This program aims to take all those barriers away and give people the sport of skiing." The 30-year-old learned how to snowboard along with other people from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

The Frosted Flakes

I think all humans are allowed——if you can afford it lolz this ducking article 🥴

Geared toward underrepresentation in resort employees or guests?

Jackie Okullu seems like a cool person. I'd totally go skiing with her.

Why is that necessary? Do LGTBQ and people of color not go to the slopes because it's too straight there or something?

Judas Priest

Maybe theyd discover more if it wasn't $200 to go skiing for a day

Go Woke... Go Broke...

Omg enough!! No one is stopping them!

This feels like a headline from The Onion

It’s the cost to go skiing!!! it has nothing to do with diversity of peoples nationalities or their gender. It’s the cost.

Seriously STOP with this bullshit

Good godfrey ksl, what the fuck kind of reporting is this?

There is no fucking passcode people…other than 4-wheel drive to get there 🙄

Give it a break all people are welcome to Utah ski resort.

'Diversity.' How about...If you like to ski, come ski? What is with this weird obsession?

Because gay people wouldn’t ski without a special invitation? Seriously.

Racist bullshit! That’s what this is. Why not reach out to poor people. Tell me, exactly how has any LGBTQ person been wronged or discriminated against by big ski? All the ski areas are run by leftists. This garbage is insulting to anyone with a brain.

Is it free?

At $200 per ticket for a day pass I think resorts effectively discriminate against EVERYONE NOT in the millionaire tax bracket.

Blah blah blah

Another woke article by KSL …. 😲…. Shocking

I didnt know recreational skiing differentiated by sexual preference or gender.

I didn’t know that those groups weren’t allowed on the slopes, how shameful for all that damn white powder😂😂😂
