The B.A.S.I.C.S. program was created to reach athletes who choose to make smart decisions in the mountains and prevent injuries of any kind.

The core message of this year's short documentary revolves around the B.A.S.I.C.S. Triangle of Safety, focusing on three key elements – speed, space, and self.

Hi, I'm Fiver!

SPEED

There are 3 main types of collisions. Person to person, person to object, or person to nature.

SPACE

Collisions can happen to anyone at any time, anywhere on the mountain. there is increased risk in high traffic zones, merge points, transitions and roll overs, lift lines, and tree zones.

SELF

Remember the “rules of the road” and respect the signage displayed on the mountain. It is there for a reason.

BASICS - Triangle of Safety

The Snow Angel Foundation

The Snow Angel Foundation's mission is to prevent ski and snowboard collisions so that everyone can Ride Another Day! We accomplish our mission through education and awareness to promote safe skiing and snowboarding behaviors. The Foundation was started as a result of a life changing collision and a desire to ensure that these types of collisions never happen again. Since 2016, we have been creating a social movement among skiers and snowboarders with the “Ride Another Day” campaign. Snow Angel Foundation, founded in 2023, is the vehicle that will expand this campaign and transform the culture of skiing and snowboarding into a safety-oriented community. Partner with us so we can all Ride Another Day!
