June 10, 2020 Off the Record 6-9-20: Racism, Bias, Telluride, and Skiing
How do racism, structural inequalities, and implicit bias keep winter sports—and winter sports communities—less diverse? We discuss this question and more with Henri Rivers, President of the National Brotherhood of Skiers, an organization that has been dedicated to increasing African-American participation in winter sports for almost 50 years.
We also speak with Ross Valdez and Marisa Marshalka, Tri-County Health Network employees who run implicit bias trainings in the community, about how implicit bias affects our community's day-to-day life and about strategies we can all practice to reduce our own biases.
