It is a positive youth development program where snowboarding becomes a vehicle for empowerment, and learning some of life\u2019s key lessons.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Capture8-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"523\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Capture8-1.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.chill.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Capture8-1-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Week one, they focused on respect.

It can help them build self-esteem and show them that they can succeed at new challenges when they give it their best effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIt\u2019s adjusting to obstacles. It\u2019s adapting to new surroundings and experiences,\u201d said Weber, citing challenges in snowboarding that also arise off the mountain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chill offers those lessons within a positive, supportive community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhen you\u2019re an adult, it helps you get through obstacles,\u201d said Anastasia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">She gained confidence by pushing through the struggles on her snowboard on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThat way, you can believe in yourself and what you\u2019re doing outside in the world, besides snowboarding,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chill serves kids already involved with local organizations, helping them with challenges including mental health issues, drug and alcohol abuse, and homelessness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This is only the third time the Guerrero siblings have been snowboarding, but they already noticed a difference on the slopes, and off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cBy the end of this, I think I\u2019m going to be a pro by the way I\u2019m going,\u201d said Aubrey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story is by Jed Boal and was published by KSL TV on January 30, 2020.
