Winter Program

Adaptive Alpine Skiing

Since 1995, the ASF has welcomed hundreds of participants to its adapted alpine skiing program at Owl’s Head ski resort in Mansonville. Other permanent sites have been established at Bromont Montagne d’Expériences, and Stoneham in the Capitale-Nationale region.

Thanks to the collaboration of the Association of Quebec Ski Areas (ASSQ) and several ski resorts in Quebec, more people can now experience adaptive alpine skiing.

Para-Nordic Skiing

For the fourth consecutive season, the ASF offers para-nordic skiing. Sitting in a lightweight sled mounted on cross-country skis, you can enjoy this endurance and gliding sport on cross-country ski trails.

The required abilities to participate are:

• Good cardiovascular condition
• Balance in a seated position
• Arm muscle tone and strength
• Good motor coordination
• Maximum weight of 200 lbs
• Maximum hip width of 17 inches

Para-Nordic Skating

Adaptive cross-country ski sleds are equipped with a removable base allowing the installation of skate blades for adapted ice skating.

Imagine skiing in the morning and skating in the afternoon! This is now possible.

Whether for a school outing or a family evening, our volunteer guides will provide the necessary assistance to practice this sport safely.

To rent or reserve the para-nordic sled with skates or skis, contact yan@sportsadaptes.ca. We will be happy to assist you with your project.
