My name is Kristin Fioretti-Reterski and I am a graduate student at the University of Virginia studying public policy. I graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. My time at UVM taught me the importance of adventure and going where I never thought possible; from being the first person in my family to graduate college to traveling abroad for the first time. My passion is to never stop exploring, and since leaving UVM I have served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nicaragua, lived and worked in New York City, and traveled the world. In July, I will be studying to become a certified yoga-therapy based teacher at Tavoos Garden in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This trip combines everything that I love about yoga, devotion, and challenging myself through self-discipline and awareness.

 

Kristin’s Adventure Scholarship was generously sponsored by Jackie Hawks.

Come join us for 2 showings of Warren Miller's new film "Winter Starts Now" at the Flynn Theater on Saturday, December 4th! Show times are 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Flyin Ryan will show a 4 minute short film about Ryan and we will speak to the audience after. We will be featuring one of our Adventure Acholarship awardees, Aaron Rice.

It has been over 10 years since Ryan died tragically while skiing in a free ride extreme skiing world tour event at Kirkwood, California. At that time we lost his body, but his spirit continues to be a current event. Ryan and his ever present smile had a positive impact on his surroundings and the people around him during his 25 years of life.

The Flyin Ryan Foundation has expanded that impact to thousands of adventurers who have come to know him since his passing. On November 13, what would have been Ryan’s 36th birthday, we encourage you to do something fun, look out for others, find an adventure, smile and eat cookies. Please consider making a donation in Ryan’s name to honor his remarkable life. Link in bio.🍻
