When you find a group of young snowboarders congregating in the trees, you're probably more likely to smell skunk rather than hear the sound of worship music, but every Sunday in Breckenridge, Youth with a Mission is making a positive difference in the lives of snowboarders and skiers.
Since the end of February, the amount of young people gathering for 1 p.m. Sunday services on the hill has significantly increased, said Foster Miller, assistant director of Boarders Discipleship Training School in Denver.
The non-denominational organization facilitates worship services every Sunday at Breckenridge Ski Area and select Sundays (including this one) at Arapahoe Basin. Though they've been doing it for a few years, in the past they only showed up three or four times a season, but this year, they're there every Sunday — and will be until the end of the season.
“Every year it builds,” Miller said.
