The Eastern Townships Disabled Skiers Foundation Inc. is a registered, non-profit, charitable organisation founded in 1995. Its mission is to establish, operate and maintain educational programs that encourage physically disabled children and adults to discover new abilities through alpine skiing and water sports.

Disabled skiing is quite simply a caring, therapeutic happening between individuals who enjoy adventure. It just seems to bring out the best out of the student, the instructor and their supportive friends. Skiing allows an excitement and fluidity of motion, rarely accessible to develop a skill, the mastery of which, helps develop the personal confidence required to face, accept and challenge the realities of day-to-day living.

Consider making a difference and becoming a volunteer instructor for our summer and / or our winter programs. Opportunities are also available for individuals who want to help with equipment, special events and administrative duties.

For some, it opens the door to the possibilities of having fun; for others, it provides a very special camaraderie, not otherwise possible or available; for some, it's a return to living; for others, it's a spur to go on and tackle the unknown.

For everyone involved, disabled skiing is addictive because everyone ends up feeling better about themselves! It helps everyone feel WHOLE again!
