SUMMER OF TWO THOUSAND AND NINETEEN.

NOVEMBER OF TWO THOUSAND AND NINETEEN.

JANUARY OF TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY.
A LETTER WAS GIVEN TO ME AT THE ANNUAL SNOWSPORTS TRADESHOW. IT WAS WRITTEN BY A 14 YEAR OLD MINNESOTAN NAMED ALANNA.IN IT SHE WROTE, “I AM WRITING THIS TO TELL YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A RAD ROLE MODEL FOR PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS IN EVERY THING YOU DO. JYOSEI WAS SO GOOD, BEST SKI MOVIE I’VE SEEN IN A LOOOONG TIME. ALSO UNBELIEVABLY RAD THAT SUCH AN INSPIRING GROUP OF GALS INCLUDING YOU WERE BEHIND IT ALL. I LOVED WATCHING IT, REWATCHING IT, TELLING MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT, AND REWATCHING IT SOME MORE!”


OUR GOAL WITH JYOSEI WAS SIMPLE: TO INSPIRE.
IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE PART OF SOMETHING SO GRAND, AND GET THE FEEDBACK FROM THE INDUSTRY THAT WE DID, BUT THE TRUEST MARK OF ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS DELIVERED IN A HAND WRITTEN LETTER GIVEN TO ME BY THE PARENTS OF A YOUNG GIRL WHO, HOPEFULLY, WILL BE INSPIRED TO DO IT TOO.
