The Risan Project produces multi-media events featuring concerts backed by action sports films with on-screen content and activations from our environmental, outdoor and cannabis industry partners. Our events allow for on-site activation, promotions, on-screen content integration and digital advertising. In this age of digital overload, the Risan Project provides an experiential alternative for brands with our Colorado events.
The Risan Project connects brands with mountain communities and urban outdoor enthusiasts and with the inclusion of educational and environmentally-conscious elements in our age-gated tour, we also aim to help reduce the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis in our culture.
The Risan Project’s house-band, Salem, performs Todd Anders Johnson’s socially-conscious compositions blending alternative rock, world, hip-hop, jazz and neo-soul. The band is comprised of snowboarders and skiers and the group has been touring the powder highways of the Lower 48, Canada and Alaska performing at concert venues, festivals, colleges and competitive snow-sports events like the Winter X Games, the US Freeskiing Open and at snow-sports conventions like SIA and Outdoor Retailer.
“Salem unites seemingly disparate topics: global peace and powder shots. Blending jazz, funk, spoken word and some Afro-Cuban beats, it makes crowds dance and think.” Katy Niner, Jackson Hole News and Guide

ASPEN – Most everything about Todd Anders Johnson lines up quite neatly, as a left-leaning, environmentalist, socially engaged type. Johnson has done work with Bono’s One Campaign, an organization dedicated to fighting poverty, and has been affiliated with the Climate Project Canada. Not content to simply join other movements, in 2009, Johnson formed his own organization, the Risan Project, that links music and sporting events with alternative energy and sustainability efforts.
Just because the weather says it’s spring doesn’t mean ski movies should be taken off your Netflix queue. The Down East is making sure the ski season stays alive and strong next Wednesday with the showing of the 2011 ski film “Being There” and slush-skiing rock of the band Salem from Breckenridge, Colo.
The Risan Project produces multi-media events featuring concerts backed by action sports films and diverse on-screen content. Risan Project events offer digital advertising and experiential marketing opportunities for partners in the cannabis, outdoor and environmental industries.
