Adaptive Ski & Snowboard Programs

Snowshoe has a long history of involvement with adaptive skiing. In partnership with the Challenged Athletes of West Virginia (CAWV), we are proud to carry on the tradition - "Skiing is for everyone!"


Through our program, adaptive equipment and instruction are available for just about every disability group: 3 and 4 Track Skiing, Mono and Bi-Ski, Blind and Hearing Impaired and Developmental Disabilities. All lessons are one on one and are flexible based on the needs of each participant.


Adaptive skiing has become the sport of choice for thousands of challenged individuals and their families. Technology, dedication and generosity have opened many doors previously closed to individuals with disabilities. Snowshoe is proud to be part of the many programs nationwide that continue to push open the doors of opportunity.


People with a wide range of disabilities participate in skiing with their family and friends. Skiing is enjoyed by people with spinal cord injuries, amputations, cerebral palsy, sight and hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury and development disorders, just to name a few. The benefits of participation in challenging activities like skiing carry over into everyday life. After a day on the slopes, no mountain seems too high to conquer!

The Adaptive Sports Center at Snowshoe is located at the Silver Creek Area at Snowshoe. The Adaptive Program will operate 7 days a week from December 17 thru March 13 for the 2011 season.


Lessons are by reservation only. For more details, call the Adaptive Program directly at 304-572-6708.
