With only three days remaining to enter the drawing for our custom Eriksen bike, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you and outline the programming that is being supported by your efforts.

The CXC Junior Adaptive Program works to make cross country skiing accessible to children with physical disabilities and visual impairments. With a little ingenuity and determination, we can get anyone out skiing. We all know the benefits of our sport. We utilize nearly every muscle under our control. Cardiovascular fitness and strength are tested. We recreate, train and compete outdoors. Adaptive skiing is no different, and we believe that reaching out and including people of all abilities strengthens the ski community as a whole. Winter belongs to everyone!

We are looking for coaches with a passion for helping adaptive athletes throughout our region.  If you know of a coach, or are interested in coaching adaptive skiing yourself, please reach out to us: [email protected]
