Sunday – Nov 17. If you are interested in volunteering for the Ski for Light. Please attend this meeting to learn more.
The Ski for Light International Event is in need of XC ski guides in Casper Wyoming. Our event information is up and we are now taking applications.
https://www.sfl.org/media-save/flyer20.pdfThe 45th annual Ski for Light International Week will take place from Sunday February 9 through Sunday February 16, 2020, in Casper, Wyoming. This is a new venue for the all-volunteer non-profit’s annual, week-long event where beginning blind and mobility impaired skiers are taught the basics of cross-country skiing, while more experienced skiers further hone their skills. All enjoy a variety of après ski activities.
The annual week-long event attracts more than 250 skiers, guides and volunteers from throughout the United States, as well as international participants from several other countries. During the Ski for Light week, each skier with a disability is paired with an experienced, sighted cross-country skier who acts as ski instructor and on-snow guide. Most blind and/or mobility impaired adults leave Ski for Light with a sense of accomplishment and motivation that carries over to every aspect of their lives. Many volunteer guides return year after year and most discover that in the process of giving of themselves they get much more back in return.
