2024 Chittenden Alpine Ski and Snowboard Practice

Hi all, our Chittenden program is pleased to partner with Vermont Adaptive to provide Alpine Ski and Snowboard practice. Please contact David Bogdan <dbogdansr@gmail.com>, phone 802-865-3840 to sign up. I will need to know if you need equipment and transportation when you sign up. Also, we will require a current medical on file before you may go to the mountain!  

I want to highlight that attendance at practice is important. We expect everyone who signs up to commit to attending practices! That said, we will still follow Covid Guidelines. I want to emphasize that if you have any symptoms, such as sneezing, cough or fever or just aren't feeling well, you must stay home!

Now is a good time to get your equipment out and schedule a tune-up so you are all set to go!

We plan to provide transportation from Special Olympics Vermont to Sugarbush Mt Ellen for those who need it. We will depart at 11:45AM and plan to be back by 4:45PM. We do need volunteers to drive! Please contact David Bogdan to volunteer!

Please note that the lunch bar at Mt Ellen will only take payment by credit card and will not accept cash. Please plan accordingly and bring snacks and drinks if you do not have a card.
