by Challenge Aspen
Challenge Aspen was established in December 1995 and has grown into a year-round programme headquartered in Snowmass Village, Colorado. Operating at one of the world's premier mountain destinations, the organisation provides access to skiing, snowboarding, cultural arts, and outdoor adventures for people with a broad range of disabilities. Challenge Aspen has hosted the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic at Snowmass every April since 1999.
Winter programming delivers private adaptive ski and snowboard lessons from PSIA-certified instructors for participants aged 4 and up, with adaptive equipment provided to meet each athlete's needs. Challenge Aspen operates Colorado's first TetraSki — a next-generation sit-ski controllable by joystick or breath (sip-and-puff) input, enabling people with the most complex physical disabilities to ski independently. Summer offerings include therapeutic art and drama camps for children and outdoor adventure programmes for newly injured veterans.
Children and adults (ages 4+) with physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and traumatic injuries — including veterans. The TetraSki programme specifically serves individuals with tetraplegia, ALS, or other complex physical conditions who cannot use conventional sit-ski equipment.
Music and Memory trains care facilities and families to create personalised playlists for people with dementia and other cognitive conditions, helping them reconnect with memories, reduce anxiety, and improve quality of life. Over 5,800 organisations across the US and internationally have been certified in their programme since 2010.
