Adaptive Skiing

The Adaptive Sports Center's expert instructors specialize in helping individuals with disabilities push themselves on the slopes of Mt. Crested Butte. Whether you've never skied in your life or you're an expert, we can tailor an experience that helps you grow as a skier. We offer the following equipment for our participants, and will help you decide what's best for your abilities. 

MONO-SKI

Past Adaptive Sports Center participants have found that monoskiing pushed them to use their muscles in ways they never thought possible. In addition to a physical challenge, monoskiing requires mental focus to overcome fear and perceived limitations.

With our extensive fleet of monoskis, our instructors can teach you how to maximize your independence and achieve your goals as a skier.

Whether you choose to tackle some of the steepest terrain in North America or novice slopes, Mt. Crested Butte’s legendary snow is for everyone.

BI-SKI

A bi-ski is an adaptive skiing method that uses two skis for more stability than a monoski, all while still providing access to most of Crested Butte Mountain Resort.

The Adaptive Sports Center boasts state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a safe and secure fit-up for a wide range of individuals. Our instructors will also make sure every skier is provided the knowledge they need to accomplish their goals.

Lessons cover everything from loading the biski onto a chairlift to the balance and strength techniques needed to glide down the mountain.

ALPINE SKI

Skiing offers both a physical and mental challenge while improving balance, strength, agility and endurance. The Adaptive Sports Center aims to optimize independence and help others reach their skiing goals with friends and family.

With a large fleet of standard alpine skis in our arsenal of equipment, the Adaptive Sports Center also has a variety of adaptive equipment at the ready to make the sport accessible to as many participants as possible.

Instructors begin each lesson by determining what equipment and learning style is best for you. They’ll pace the day and help you reach your goals.
