19th
Annual Hartford Ski Spectacular
December 3-10, 2006
Adaptive
Adventures leads Cross Country growth and Race!
Special
Guests - Soldiers from the Iraq conflict
For
the eighth consecutive year, Adaptive Adventures will provide
expanded support to this great event. We will again bring
certified instructors and volunteers to support the Learn-to-ski,
Learn-to-race, and Level 2 race programs.
After
a successful 2005, the Adaptive Adventures Team will again
take the lead on expanding the cross country ski offerings
at Ski Spectacular. Our Team will work -- with Mark Mast from
Sun Valley, and John Kremilmeyer, the US Disabled Team Coach
-- to expand the cross country aspect of Ski Spectacular.
2006 features expanded learn-to-ski opportunities as well
as other offerings including cross country ski groups and
a level 1 race. We are looking to do what we do best "recruit
participants" to take advantage of increased opportunities
to experience cross country skiing. Our goal is to increase
participation by more than 50% in 2006!
It
will again be an honor for all of Adaptive Adventures staff
and volunteers to give back to the soldiers, recently injured
in Iraq, who have given so much for our country. We look forward
to providing opportunities to participate in sports and recreation
at Ski Spectacular and numerous events throughout the year.
Focus:
The event features Learn to Ski, Learn to Race, and PSIA continuing
education clinics. Additionally, there will be two Level II
Races, a Corporate Challenge Race, and a Special Group of
Veterans from the Iraq War. This is our sixth year of supporting
the event and our fourth season as a "distinguished"
partner. Adaptive Adventures is providing learn to ski instructors
and over 20 volunteers for the expanded race schedule and
cross country programing.
Adaptive Adventures Executive Director Joel Berman accepts an award from Kirk Bauer, Executive Director of DSUSA, and two Wounded Warrior special guests, for execptional merit and effort in helping DSUSA and recently wounded soldiers from Iraq.
