Diversity Day at PATS PEAK celebrates the work, spirit and vision of Martin Luther King by hosting a special winter fun event. This winter fun event commemorates the importance of diversity, nondiscrimination, and freedom. It’s an opportunity to come to the slopes of New Hampshire no matter a person's ethnicity, social, or economic background. Focusing on the diversity of cultures around the world, world music will be showcased in the lodge complete with a DJ and dancing.

“We want to make the message loud and clear that the opportunity to come to the slopes of New Hampshire is not decided by a person's ethnicity, social, or economic background. Our dream for Diversity Day is to provide the atmosphere and a program that will encourage you to bring individuals skiing, snowboarding and tubing who may believe that this is a sport out of their reach," says Jim Wall, Director of Services.

Part of the day’s celebration includes 130+ Youth Enrichment Services (YES) kids skiing and snowboarding at Pats Peak in the afternoon and then taking part in the festivities in the early evening. The celebration’s speaking program features YES co-founder Mary Williams and Pats Peak’s Director of Services and Diversity Day organizer, Jim Wall.
