ABOUT OUR ADAPTIVE SKI SNOWBOARD PROGRAM

Our program philosophy incorporates three simple objectives: SAFETY, FUN, and LEARNING. 

WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR? Any Veteran with a physical disability with skiing or snowboarding experience from beginner to advanced. We offer skiing and riding programs across the US in collaboration with other adaptive ski programs, ski schools and resorts. We offer regular weekday offering in Wisconsin with our Midwest Ski & Ride Program and weekend camps across the Midwest in partnership with various resorts to reach as many Veterans as we can. We are a completely mobile organization with all equipment necessary to safely and effectively provide skiing and snowboarding instruction and lessons for any ability level.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?  Come out and see what all the fun's about!  Our trained instructors and volunteers will provide a fun and supportive learning environment.  They will help you develop the skills you need to learn or improve your skiing and riding abilities.

HOW SHOULD I DRESS? Make sure that you come prepared to be outside in whatever weather Mother Nature gives us! It's all about layers... and being prepared. Take a peek at this document if you are new to snow sports:: How To Suit Up for the Hill.  We do have outdoor clothing that people may use while at a program with us. Just make sure that you pay attention to your under layers when you come to the hill. Jeans are not advisable as they do not give when moving around; any type of sweat/jogging pants would be a much better choice over a base layer.

**TIMELINESS -  We make every effort to adhere to our schedule, and we need everyone involved in this program to respect posted times as best a possible.
