Christopher’s love for Alpine skiing started at an early age and has continued into his adulthood. Living in New Hampshire it is often hard to stay active in the winter but he has always been able to stay active year round because of skiing. With Christopher being in college full-time studying engineering he was unable to financially support his skiing, so he applied for a recreation grant. He feels that having this grant will not only allow him to remain active in the winter months but will help him to stay positive and have something to look forward to.
