On Monday evenings, Melanin in Motion offers introductory and progressive Nordic(XC) Ski lessons for the BIPOC community. Mondays at The Trailhead are our longest-running effort to connect BlPOC and Northside families to the benefit and joy of winter activity. Each week we offer an intro-to and progressive Nordic program that allows community members to learn and master the fundamentals of skiing and gain knowledge of the environment, enabling true enjoyment of the outdoors in winter.
Melanin in Motion connects Black, Indigenous, and POC youth, adults, and families to active living and personal development in nature, outdoors, and adventure-based experiences. We create incentive, excitement, and positive emotional connections to the outdoors by removing barriers to participation through progressive nature-based experiences. Melanin in Motion adventures are led by experienced, nurturing BIPOC practitioners with the ultimate goal of building community and connecting people to the joy, fun, and healing of being in nature.
