Golden-based lifestyle apparel company, YoColorado, and The Golden Mill have joined forces to celebrate and support the Lakewood-based National Ski Patrol at Après for a Purpose on January 24, 2026 from 4-10pm.
This winter celebration at The Golden Mill is a free community event for all ages and will be packed with winter fun, including:
- The debut of YoColorado’s new, retro and mountain-inspired apparel and accessory collection
- Meet-and-greets with ski patrollers and avalanche rescue dogs (photo attached)
- Ski product giveaways and prizes
- Après vibes, music, and mountain-town energy
- Opportunities to meet the pros and hear their stories to learn what ski patrollers do and how to become one yourself
Twenty percent of all YoColorado apparel collection sales and proceeds from food and drink will support NSP’s mission to promote outdoor safety and service by educating and training the patrollers who assist mountain enthusiasts nationwide.
