Through Eagle Ski, children and adults with a wide range of physical and developmental disabilities can enjoy the thrill and challenge of skiing. An 8 week program offers Alpine skiing at Bridger Bowl and Nordic skiing at Bohart Ranch near Bozeman.
Special instruction is available to visiting skiers, by appointment, all winter long.
Using specially designed equipment and adaptive techniques, anyone with a disability can learn to ski. The benefits of skiing far outreach just learning a skill. Self esteem is raised, limitation is challenged, opportunities to discover new potential and develop new relationships are only some of the advantages. Many skiers have gone on to higher achievements in competitive skiing, or have become volunteer instructors themselves. Others achieve a degree of independence that allows them to rejoin their families in the enjoyment of skiing.
