Accessible down-hill skiing

Down-hill skiing is made accessible through adaptive lessons at Wachusett Mountain State Reservation.

Spaulding Adaptive Sports Center's Ski/Ride Club

Spaulding Adaptive Sports Ski/Ride Club provides instructors and equipment for both skiers and snowboarders with disabilities at Wachusett Mountain State Reservation. Lessons are designed in collaboration with Wachusett Mountain Ski Area and provide all adaptive gear necessary for either stand-up or sit-down skiers. Certified adaptive snow sports instructors provide private lessons for skiers of all levels, regardless of ability or experience, to reach their most independent skiing or riding ability.

Wachusett Mountain Ski Area adaptive lessons

A skier skis down a hill on a mono ski. The skier has two short poles with ski blades on the end of them, which the skier is pressing against the snow to steer.

Adaptive downhill skiing lessons are also offered by Wachusett Mountain Ski Area.

Wachusett Mountain staff are trained in working with skiers with physical, cognitive, hearing, visual, and developmental disabilities. You need to make a reservation to schedule an adaptive lesson. Lesson cost varies by the type of lesson, the type of area ticket needed, and the equipment required.

For more information or to schedule a lesson, visit the Wachusett Adaptive Lessons website and email adaptive@wachusett.com or call (978) 464-2300, ext. 3308.
