Winter Program Information
Our winter adaptive ski program starts in early January and consists of 9 Saturdays. They are divided into two groups of four weeks. The first group attends weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7. The second group attends weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8.
The 9th Saturday is our Challenge Day when both groups come together for some fun. The Challenge is a slalom race where the students have 4 descents, each time trying to better their own time against the electronic clock. A banquet follows with a special guest speaker.
