Our Directors

Chelsea Severn, Director

Raised in the mountains of Park City, Utah, Chelsea finds happiness in helping others, especially kids, finding their full potential in anything they do. As a mom, teacher and coach, she strives to create those moments when a child’s eyes light up with awe and discovery of their previously unknown abilities. She also believes you can never make too many snow angels!

David Severn, Founder

Born and raised in Yakima, Washington, David finds his happiest moments in the outdoors and wants more of the youth of Yakima to find their moments there, too. A fond ski bus recollection from his childhood was David’s impetus to start the White Pass Foundation. He loves spending Friday nights getting to know the kids - especially those from Wilson Middle School, his alma mater!
