FDTributaries Denver held its second quarterly event in Vail, Colorado for a weekend of skiing and all around adventurous fun. After four years away we were beyond stoked to be back in the birthplace of First Descents. With the event being generously donated by CT Challenge , we were able to host fourteen local FD Alumni and YA Cancer Fighter and Survivors with all ranges of skiing and snowboarding abilities. Vail Mountain Resort donated all ski gear, lift tickets, and some rad instructors! Phil Robinson generously donated his time and photography skills to capture the spirit of the event. As always, costumes were encouraged and our Unicorn, aka Prez, led the way with a stellar white onesie. The weekend was filled with family dinners, early morning yoga, dance off challenges, and lots of skiing and riding!
