Ski Sundown for Every Body.
Summit Adaptive Sports (a nonprofit adaptive skiing and recreation organization) provides ski and snowboard lessons to individuals of all ages with physical, cognitive or developmental disabilities. Our Adaptive volunteers are PSIA-trained and will assess, equip and teach individuals with special needs, one-on-one, to meet their specific goals, abilities and learning styles. We welcome individuals of all abilities!
Lesson categories include: Hearing and visual impairments or blind; all types of developmental disabilities; three and four track for mobility impairments, and sit, mono, and bi-skiing. Lessons are taken by advance reservation only, and are available on weekends and specific weekdays.
