Program: Ed Bronsdon, “Transforming Lives Through Adaptive Skiing,” July 6, 2023

Adaptive skiing transforms the lives of individuals with and without disabilities. It builds community and promotes inclusion for all. While enhancing self-esteem, adaptive skiing helps individuals learn new skills and foster fitness through fun. Ed will share life-transforming stories of adaptive skiing lessons that he’s led.
