Educational Resources

NSAA is focused on providing resources for our members within the skiing and outdoor recreation spaces. The goal of these specific resources is to illustrate issues in the snowsports industry and in our greater outdoor community. There are myriad resources for understanding systemic racism and education for being actively anti-racist. You can find a list of some of those resources here.
