The Tour\u2014masterminded by Winter X Games gold medalist Zeb Powell with a mission to spread the love of snowboarding, increase accessibility to the sport, and diversify the slopes\u2014launched on the East Coast five years ago.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/01-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_2.jpg\" alt=\"Zeb Powell signs an autograph for Deonte Westcott at the Red Bull Slide-In Tour at Copper Mountain.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Zeb Powell signs an autograph for Deonte Westcott at the Red Bull Slide-In Tour at Copper Mountain. Photo by Shauna Farnell<\/p>\n<p>Along with Maggie Leon, Brantley Mullins, Brolin Mawejje and a handful of other competitive snowboarders, Powell spent the day with the teens lapping Copper\u2019s Woodward terrain park as a collective, gleeful pack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s not much to it,\u201d says Powell, who won a gold medal at the 2020 X Games Knuckle Huck. \u201cWe radiate this energy that makes people want to come ride with us. They\u2019re like, \u2018Can you do this? Can you teach me this?\u2019 It\u2019s really so simple. It\u2019s just getting together and having fun. They give me the hype, I give it right back. You radiate that energy, it\u2019ll radiate right back to you. It\u2019s contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The young riders at the Slide-In clinic had already notched some snowboard experience thanks to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chill.org\/location\/united-states\/denver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chill Foundation<\/a>, an organization launched by Burton founders Jake and Donna Carpenter with the goal of introducing snowboarding and other sports to youth who might not otherwise have the resources to get involved. The organization has 22 locations across North America. The teens participating in the Copper Slide-In clinic were members of Chill\u2019s Denver branch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235381\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235381\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-235381\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/02-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Chill-Foundation_Brian-Nevins.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/02-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Chill-Foundation_Brian-Nevins.jpg 718w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/02-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Chill-Foundation_Brian-Nevins-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/02-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Chill-Foundation_Brian-Nevins-600x450.jpg 600w\" alt=\"The Chill Foundation party laps at Copper Mountain.\" width=\"718\" height=\"538\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-235381\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chill Foundation party laps at Copper Mountain.

Diversifying the mountain is the goal here, showcasing that anyone can get out here and do it. We\u2019re really pushing to get more girls in the park. It can be intimidating. We\u2019re trying to add that sense of security and encourage them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lili Nielsen, a 14-year-old Alameda International High School student, learned to snowboard two years ago with the Chill Foundation. Before the Slide-In clinic, she considered herself an intermediate rider. During the clinic, she started hitting jumps. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m learning park right now, focusing on those skills. With Chill, I get to go on these awesome adventures. I\u2019ve made a lot of unexpected friends,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235384\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235384\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-235384\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/05-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Shauna-Farrell_3-600x450.jpg 600w\" alt=\"Zeb Powell signs an autograph for Lili Nielsen at the Red Bull Slide-In Tour at Copper Mountain.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-235384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeb Powell signs an autograph for Lili Nielsen at the Red Bull Slide-In Tour at Copper Mountain.

Although he grew up a fan of the sport, he never had the chance to try it when he was younger. \u201cIt was basically my whole avenue into this sport,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I wanted to do this sport without Chill, it would probably take a lot longer, and I\u2019d probably be a lot older when I got there.\u201d He says he used to feel self-conscious about being one of few Black snowboarders on the slopes, but riding with Powell and the diverse crew at the Chill Foundation eliminates any uneasiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s getting a lot better because I\u2019m seeing more of us out here,\u201d Westcott said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like we\u2019re all uncomfortable because we\u2019re all singled out. I feel like now, with how many people who have gotten into the sport, we\u2019ve gotten a more stable community. It\u2019s like we have a color wheel now. We don\u2019t have a gentrified sport.<\/p>\n<p>A Colorado native, Zach Pierre-Louis recently became the community coordinator for Denver\u2019s Chill Foundation after teaching a group of kids from the program how to snowboard when he was an instructor at Loveland Ski Area. \u201cI grew up in a similar situation,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn\u2019t have the opportunity to go snowboarding. It\u2019s a high cost of entry and my parents couldn\u2019t afford it. I thought this program that found people who were interested in the sport and provided them with all the gear and transportation completely free of cost was really it for me. I was one of the kids and now I get to be that person to help get them on the snow. It\u2019s complete full-circle. I think snowboarding should be for everybody and that everybody should at least try it. You might fall in love with it, like I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n<div id=\"gallery1\" class=\"swiper swiper-initialized swiper-horizontal swiper-pointer-events swiper-backface-hidden\">\n<div id=\"swiper-wrapper-dc8dd8ff2527e3dd\" class=\"swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide swiper-slide-duplicate swiper-slide-prev swiper-slide-duplicate-next\" role=\"group\" data-swiper-slide-index=\"1\" aria-label=\"2 \/ 2\">\n<figure class=\"gallery-slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-960x720.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.5280.com\/2023\/03\/04-Red-Bull-Slide-In-Copper_Maggie-Leon_Brian-Nevins.jpg 1600w\" alt=\"Maggie Leon slides across a feature at Copper Mountain.\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Maggie Leon riding at the Red Bull Slide-In Tour at Copper Mountain on March 4, 2023.

I got a lot of people reaching out like, \u2018Hey, I didn\u2019t even know Black people snowboarded. You\u2019re such an inspiration to me.\u2019 For me, the way I grew up, I just thought of snowboarding as snowboarding. Anyone can do it. I don\u2019t care what you look like. So, for that to happen to me, I was like,\u00a0<em>Man, I\u2019ve done everything I need to do. I can keep doing things with all my sponsors, but now I want to switch gears into welcoming diversity into the mountains.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about cruising and having fun.
