Formed in December 1995, Challenge Aspen has evolved into a year-round program offering access for anyone with a disability to a variety of sports, recreational and cultural activities. In the winter, the program offers all levels of recreational skiing and snowboarding instruction for individuals ages 4 and up who have a physical or cognitive disability. Participants receive specialized private instruction through Challenge Aspen's PSIA-certified adaptive instructors, and adaptive equipment is provided to accommodate all needs. Private lesson rates with Challenge Aspen include one-on-one instruction. If you simply need a "buddy" for the day, trained volunteers are also available for a minimal fee. Reservations are required.
