and Cerebral Palsy. Our specially skilled teachers also work with ski or
snowboarders who are developmentally disabled or who are mobility-impaired,
individuals who require walkers, and other special-needs children or
individuals.
Please call ahead! These specially trained instructors can only take lessons by appointment only.

thrill and exhilaration of skiing. Our instructors will guide them through a

Skiing is a terrific sport that everyone should have the opportunity to
experience. Help us make this experience more accessible to all. The Ski
Butternut Adaptive Ski School is very fortunate to have individuals who
have already made considerable donations, allowing the school to purchase necessary specialized equipment (our latest purchase a Ski-Slider-Walker - cost $1500). Equipment is always needed.
If you are interested in making a donation to this worthy cause, please call
