We held our first Adapted Ski Day for the physically disabled on September 11. The huge storm that blew over the night before was gone, and the weather cooperated for us. Five disabled skiers partipated, along with two helpers. Things couldn't have turned out better, with all skiers having a great time, and our club learning how to accomodate wheelchair athletes.
Thanks to all our volunteers: Ken and Lauren Babineau, Kent Jefferson, Barry McKnight, Robbie Paterson, Michael Long, Rob Wainman, Phaedra Harder, Louise Harder, and Ian Harder. Also thanks to Chris Bourne of the Active Living Alliance for Canadians Living with a Disability, PerfectPass, and Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada.
