USABA proud to announce inaugural Winter
Ski Festival at Vermont Adaptive
We invite you to buckle your ski boots, ride the chairlift, and pave the way for other visually impaired athletes.

            It’s that time of year again: for fleece-lined jackets, snug ski goggles, fresh powder and snow-capped mountains. That’s right…ski season is around the corner. Whether you’re an experienced skier or a beginner, our team at USABA encourages you to hit the slopes. We believe everyone should experience the wind in their face and the crisp air in their lungs while gliding down the frosty trails.

            USABA embarked on achieving a central goal: to integrate blind and visually impaired skiers into the recreational and competitive side of alpine and cross country skiing. With the help of a few key players, including U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports, we can reach our goal. The element we require in order to meet our goal? YOU! We need your participation in our upcoming event.
