United States Veteran Eric Fehr was chosen from the Reno Area to train for 9-weeks with the City of Reno Rec Department to prepare himself for a week of skiing/snowboarding at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows in the 2017 Military to the Mountains Program. The Military to the Mountains program started with US Marine Core Veteran Corporal Jacob Schick in March 2015 returning to the slopes, and through media and generous donations from Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows and many more, the program will see 22 US Veterans sliding down snow in April 2017.
