On July 9, 2024 Mountain Land Charities and Neuroworx came together for a remarkable opportunity for those living with life-altering injuries, called Adaptive Ski Day. For the last 15 years we have hosted this event and can’t wait to continue doing so. We had an incredible time participating in Adaptive Ski Day this year. This event brought together individuals of all abilities for a day filled with exhilarating experiences on the water, and ABC 4 News captured the thrilling day perfectly while sharing hope with inspiring stories from our participants.

A Day of Thrills and Smiles
At Adaptive Ski Day, our greatest joy is witnessing the transformative power of adaptive sports. Seeing the smiles light up participants’ faces as they conquer the water on skis or adaptive equipment is life changing. It’s more than just a day on the lake; it’s about instilling confidence and demonstrating that challenges can be overcome with determination and support. We believe in fostering a sense of empowerment, where every individual, regardless of ability, feels the exhilaration of pushing their limits and achieving their goals. Adaptive Ski Day is not just an event; it’s a celebration of courage, resilience, and the boundless possibilities that arise when we come together as a community.
Community and Support
One of the most remarkable aspects of Adaptive Ski Day was the sense of community and support that permeated the event. Volunteers and experienced athletes generously shared their knowledge and encouragement, ensuring that every participant felt empowered and valued.
Celebrating Every Achievement
Throughout the day, we witnessed countless moments of triumph – a first successful run, a courageous attempt at a new trick, and the infectious laughter of newfound friends. These achievements were not just about mastering a sport; they were about pushing boundaries, embracing resilience, and celebrating the beauty of diversity.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on our experience at Adaptive Ski Day, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful event. We can’t wait for our next Adaptive Ski Day on Tuesday August 13, 2024! The memories created on the water will forever inspire us to continue supporting initiatives that promote inclusivity and empowerment.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or trying adaptive sports for the first time, events like Adaptive Ski Day remind us all of the incredible things that can be achieved when we come together as a community. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and look forward to more adventures that unite us in the spirit of joy, courage, and empowerment.
