There are lessons, racing programs and recreational skiing services for disabled skiers. The goal of Waterville Valley's Adaptive Skiing Program is to show students a way to reach new heights of confidence and self-esteem through the exercise and fun of skiing. More than 30 trained volunteers teach lessons seven days a week throughout the season. Specially designed adaptive ski equipment is available. Adaptive equipment, if needed, is available to all students.
Instruction is provided by specially trained volunteers.
Gunstock has a small inventory of adaptive equipment available upon request. Jackson Ski Touring Foundation's Adaptive Program includes free use of sit-skis. Volunteers are available with advance notice to assist with uphill skiing and other needs. The Nordic Center at Waterville Valley has a cross country sit-ski that is available free of charge. In addition, the Nordic Center has an instructor available for private lessons.
