NSCD Ski School Lessons Open!

Thank you for participating with the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD)! We are returning to programming this winter at our Adaptive Ski School and hope to see you soon.

We will open online reservations at 12:00p.m. MST on Monday October 12, 2020.

Due to COVID-19 guidelines the NSCD has drastically reduced the number of lessons we are able to teach each day and we want to be able to provide opportunities for as many participants as possible to access programs this ski season. The NSCD is also coordinating with our program partners to minimize the number and amount of time individuals are present at base and indoor areas.

At this time, participants may only register for one half-day lesson per day for Alpine and Nordic Adaptive Ski School Reservations.

If a participant has reservations for more than one time slot for the same date, the participant will be contacted, asked to choose one lesson time slot and the other reservations will be fully refunded or rescheduled.

Things will look and feel a bit different as we implement health and safety procedures, limit the number of people in our facilities to ensure physical distancing, and focus on programs that can be provided under these guidelines. For all participants, staff and volunteers know that face coverings will be required, daily health screenings will be implemented, increased cleaning and disinfection procedures will be in place, and there will be limited access to gathering or waiting indoors as well as limited space to store personal belongings. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you this winter season!

Enabling the human spirit through therapeutic sports and recreation.

The NSCD offers adaptive lessons for individuals and groups of people with disabilities in a variety of action sports, adventure sports and competitive programs. Athletes with any physical, cognitive, emotional or behavioral diagnosis can participate in sports and recreation programs year-round in Colorado’s Front Range and mountains.

The NSCD’s recreational athletes build self-confidence and improve overall health in programs such as skiing, rock climbing, paddle sports and therapeutic horseback riding. The NSCD’s competition program offers a way for independent athletes to compete at an elite level in international alpine and Nordic competitions and to thrive in the camaraderie of the NSCD team environment.

The NSCD is one of the largest therapeutic recreation and competitive adaptive sports agencies in the world, based out of Winter Park Resort and the Denver Broncos Stadium at Empower Field at Mile High in Colorado. With specially trained staff and volunteers, as well as its own adaptive equipment lab, the NSCD teaches over 52,000 lesson hours to athletes each year with a variety of diagnoses.
