Goggles for Docs

GogglesforDocs.com is a grassroots coalition of snowsports enthusiasts donating their new and gently used googles to healthcare professionals, first responders, and others on the front lines in need of PPE during this challenging time.

You can find more information on their website, as well as easily accessed as local drop-off locations (Ski Utah in SLC and U.S. Ski & Snowboard in Park City are drop off spots) or hospitals in need. Check out @gogglesfordocs on Instagram and Twitter for daily photos and responses from towns, resorts, industry suppliers, and individuals nationwide.
