After all the leaves have fallen from the trees and the temperature drops below freezing, my mind turns to the winter ahead and the imminent snow that will soon blanket many parts of the country. It’s December now and time to start thinking about where and when to have your fun in that beautiful white stuff that could only come from the heavens. I am lucky enough to live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, home of the famous Champagne Powder™, so for me it’s an easy decision. But for those of you who don’t live in a ski town and don’t get to enjoy skiing very often, or maybe have never tried skiing and would love to see what it’s all about, there is likely an adaptive ski camp nearby that can make sure you have as much fun as the rest of us when winter settles in.

Colorado Camps
Colorado is well known for its massive peaks and dozens of ski resorts and should be the first place you start when looking for adaptive ski camps. With nine adaptive programs offering skiing for all levels of skiers with disabilities, there are numerous opportunities for those looking for excitement in the Rocky Mountains. Adaptive Adventures, based out of Evergreen, is a leader in providing adaptive skiing camps, hosting, co-hosting, or participating in nearly 10 camps and clinics in Colorado alone.

The highlights of these camps this year would be the 6th annual Vail All Mountain Ski Camp, the 3rd annual Steamboat All Mountain Ski Camp, the 8th annual Expand Your Horizons Camp in Telluride, and the Stars of Tomorrow Kids Camp in Vail. In addition to these camps, Adaptive Adventures offers mono-ski and bi-ski clinics at Powderhorn Resort in Mesa, Colorado, and mid-level development and level I race camps at Greek Peak in New York and Camelback in Pennsylvania.
