Narpski follows two BIPOC women, Kayla (she/her) and Caroline (she/her), as they navigate being beginners in snow sports. As self proclaimed NARPs, or non-athletic regular people, they’ll set out to accomplish their goal of attempting their first black diamond. As they attempt a black diamond run, they’ll receive guidance from Mai Li (they/them), a skier and Open Slopes co-founder, and Char (she/her), a snowboarder and Open Slopes mentor. Kayla and Caroline will share a hot pot meal with the two and hear about the experiences their mentors have faced from their time on the mountain. Most importantly, they’ll discuss the topic of BIPOC joy and better understand what it means to recreate outdoors as BIPOC individuals beyond the mentality of exceptionalism.
