Chris Anthony skied on an indoor ski ramp called Snobahn in Centennial to raise money for children in Colorado.

In the end, Anthony raised nearly $3,000 for the kids to enjoy outdoor experiences.

"It's about bridging kids to experimental opportunities. Since I'm a skier, I've been able to bridge quite a few of them from the classroom to the mountains and onto skis," Anthony said.
