What is Shared Ski Adventures?

Shared Ski Adventures, is an ADAPTIVE Learn to Ski Program that helps people with disabilities become independent skiers.  We ski at Swain Ski Resort in Western New York.  Shared Ski Adventures is the largest adaptive ski program in the greater Rochester area.

Since 1980, over 800 students have benefited from the dedication of volunteer instructors.

All share in the cost.  Instructors help optimistic and adventurous participants who are cognitively disabled or mobility, hearing or vision impaired, learn to ski.

We focus on capabilities not disabilities.  Both student and instructor benefit from the program by sharing in a safe activity that promotes physical, mental and emotional growth.

Our teaching methods are as creative as the people we instruct and frequently require specialized ski equipment.

In 2003, Shared Ski Adventures became a recreational program of CP Rochester, a 60-year-old agency whose mission is to support adults and children with physical and developmental disabilities so they may determine their own pathways in life and to live as full members of their communities.

The 2010 Ski Season is Coming Soon!

It’s shaping up to be another great season for Shared Ski Adventures in 2010!  The upcoming SSA season will begin on January 9th for instructors and on January 16th for students.  Although there have been changes ‘behind the scenes’ with new ownership at Swain Ski & Snowboard Resort, the impact will be seamless for the Shared Ski Adventures program this season and we are looking forward to hitting the slopes in a few months!  Registrations for students and instructors are available in PDF format below.
