For the past several years, we have noticed a considerable decrease in the severity and dependability of our winters. Scientists and meteorologists have confirmed that this trend will continue and become worse if we don’t do something.

While this is a global issue on many fronts, it has hit the winter sports community front and center. If we don’t act, our winters and the lifestyle we love, will soon be non-existent.

POW was formed in 2007 by Jeremy Jones, a professional snowboarder to unite the winter sports community and focus our collective efforts towards initiatives that will directly impact our winters.

The mission of the foundation is build a united front of winter sports enthusiasts, so that together, we can restore our winter climates.

POW will educate the community and provide tangible solutions that will make a difference today. Additionally, we will help fund renewable energy and work with local governments, developers and homeowners to increase the sustainable development projects in our winter climates.
