SEWASP has decided to not offer adaptive ski and snowboard lessons during the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19. An email with more information was sent to all participants and volunteers on September 17, 2020. This was a very difficult decision, as we all look forward to the ski & snowboard season with all of you. Please watch your email or check back for updates. Thank you for your continued support of and participation in SEWASP. |
Please remember that reservations are always required for SEWASP lessons. |
