Subject: | January As Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in PA |
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating January as "Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in Pennsylvania." Pennsylvania's geography is the backdrop for outdoor recreation; and tens of thousands of winter enthusiasts migrate to the PA mountains every week to ski and snowboard on trails that offer cruising comfort in a majestic setting or the excitement of a pulse-pounding challenge on a downhill course. There are over 21 ski resorts in all regions of this Commonwealth. These resorts have a significant economic impact on the communities in which they are located and the Commonwealth as a whole. Participating in a snow sport provides an opportunity for for exercise and friendship that will last a lifetime and Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month encourages children and adults to learn by taking lessons from professional instructors and ski and snowboard areas throughout the United States offer free and reasonably prices lesson programs during January as part of this initiative. Please join me in supporting this resolution to designate January as "Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in Pennsylvania." |
