No Limits Adaptive Ski Association

No Limits Adaptive Ski Association Inc. is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to providing persons with disabilities the opportunity to participate in alpine skiing and snowboarding. Founded with the mission to offer a safe and supportive environment, the association focuses on adapting the sport to fit the abilities of each individual rather than their disabilities.

Mission and Goals

The primary mission of No Limits Adaptive Ski Association is to enable persons with disabilities to engage in alpine skiing and snowboarding safely. The organization aims to provide instruction and foster a learning and challenging environment for all participants. Its goal is to include as many participants as possible in adaptive alpine skiing experiences.

Programs and Services

No Limits Adaptive Ski Association uses a variety of specialized equipment tailored to meet diverse needs, including sit skis, snow sliders, and outriggers, ensuring that people with physical disabilities can enjoy skiing. The association also supports skiers with vision impairments by providing sighted guides, and accommodates persons who are Deaf or hard of hearing by arranging American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters upon request.

Trained volunteer instructors work closely with participants to adapt skiing techniques and ensure safety and enjoyment on the slopes. The adaptive approach emphasizes the skier's ability, customizing the experience to suit individual skill levels and physical conditions.

Partnerships and Community Engagement

The association operates primarily at Searchmont Resort, where it partners with local organizations to promote accessibility and adaptive programming in winter sports. No Limits Adaptive Ski Association actively participates in community events and ski resort open houses to raise awareness and support for adaptive skiing.

Volunteerism and Support

As a volunteer-driven organization, No Limits relies heavily on the commitment of trained volunteers who provide instruction and assistance to participants. The association welcomes donations and community involvement to sustain and expand its programs.
