by Whistler Adaptive Sports Program
A not-for-profit society operating in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor of British Columbia, WASP is a long-standing partner of Whistler Blackcomb and the Vail Epic Promise Foundation. Since 1999, the programme has worked to make one of the world's premier mountain destinations accessible to athletes with any disability or neurodivergent condition.
Winter programmes include group and private adaptive ski and snowboard lessons using specialist adaptive equipment—sit-skis, outriggers, and mono-skis—delivered by trained volunteer instructors. A sliding-scale fee and subsidy programme ensures cost is not a barrier. Year-round programming extends to adaptive mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming, and yoga.
WASP serves people of all ages with any disability or neurodivergent condition, including mobility impairments, visual impairments, intellectual disabilities, and autism spectrum conditions. Both local families and international visitors are welcome, and the programme's participant-centred approach ensures each session is adapted to individual needs.
AbleGamers is a nonprofit that combats social isolation for people with disabilities through the power of gaming. They provide free custom adaptive controller setups, create developer resources for accessible game design, and run the Accessible Player Experiences (APX) programme to help studios build more inclusive games.
