by New England Disabled Sports
Founded in 1987, New England Disabled Sports (NEDS) has grown from six volunteer coaches at Loon Mountain into a nationally recognised adaptive sports programme with a second location at Bretton Woods Ski Resort. Over 38 years, NEDS has built a community of more than 200 trained volunteer instructors delivering close to 3,500 adaptive lessons per season to nearly 600 student-athletes.
NEDS provides adaptive instruction in alpine skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, and snowshoeing for children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities. A full fleet of specialised equipment — including TetraSki, mono-skis, bi-skis, and outriggers — is available at no cost to students. NEDS also offers summer programming in cycling, kayaking, and rock climbing.
NEDS serves individuals with spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, amputation, and cognitive disabilities. All instruction is provided at no charge to students, funded through donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations.
