Challenge Aspen welcomes the Aspen/Snowmass and the entire Roaring Fork community to join a special celebration of Disability Awareness Day on Snowmass Mountain, Saturday, March 15, 10am - 2:30pm at the old ski school “Grizzly Den,” across from The Skittles.
The Challenge Aspen staff has themed the event “Party Like It’s 1989,” inviting everyone to come in totally radical 80’s wear, enjoy a free lunch, music, prizes and the rare, hands-on opportunity to learn more about adaptive skiing and snowboarding. “This is going to be a really fun event. Challenge Aspen instructors and staff will be available to offer anyone who’s interested, the opportunity to actually experience what it’s like to ski visually impaired and guided down the mountain blind,” explains Sarah Volf. “There’s also the opportunity for anyone interested, to use adaptive equipment like the bi-ski, typically used by Challenge Aspen participants with physical disabilities.
This is truly a rare, fun opportunity for members of this amazing community to experience a taste of the joy and exhilaration that Challenge Aspen participants experience in our programs.”

Six recently injured soldiers from across the U.S., will join Challenge Aspen and Aspen Alpine Guides in traveling some of the most beautiful back country in Colorado, while participating in the First Annual Wilderness Hut Experience on February 2-9. “This camp is a direct result of witnessing the powerful results of our summer overnight outdoor experiences and their remarkable therapeutic value,” explains Sarah W. Volf, REC Director, Challenge Aspen. “Most of these Soldiers received their injuries in 2003 or 2004 and have been working and living in their own communities for several years. This is a big commitment for Challenge Aspen and for each of the participants, as all have different disabilities, including amputations, 3rd degree burns, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), nerve damage and fragment wounds. Careful preparation in advance is just as important as the trip itself,” she adds.
