Ski and Ride at Stowe or Smuggs

Make Dreams Come True.

Green Mountain Adaptive Sports sponsors Vermont youth and adults with disabilities so they can explore the wonders of skiing and snowboarding. This program is made possible, in part by a partnership with the Vail Resorts Epic Promise Foundation.

Again this year, applicants can choose to participate in the adaptive program at Stowe Mountain Resort, or at Smugglers’ Notch Ski Resort.

Athletes can apply for a series of adaptive ski or snowboard lessons provided by the specially trained adaptive instructors at each of the resorts, or for a day, or season pass to enjoy independent skiing and riding at the resort with family and friends.

Rental equipment is also available if needed and generously supplied by Ski Essentials in Stowe. We are accepting applications from Vermont residents until September 30th.

Non-Vermont residents visiting Stowe can also schedule adaptive ski lessons at Stowe Mountain Resort by contacting the Ski and Ride School directly at 802-253-3000. To reach the Smugglers Notch Ski School, use 800-419-4615.

Stowe TetraSki and Snow’Kart

We are super excited to be able to also provide ski lessons in the Stowe TetraSki and the Snow’Kart for people with complex disabilities. This program is fully managed and administered by Green Mountain Adaptive Sports at Stowe Mountain Resort. Read more about the program HERE. If you are a candidate for both programs, and a Vermonter living with a disability, you can also apply for the regular GMAS Ski and Ride program on the form below. Registration for this program will open later this fall. Remember to sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page to make sure you stay in the know.
