Cross Country Skiing
Each
winter season, Northeast Passage runs a series of cross country ski
events at various Nordic destinations in New England. These events
introduce individuals with disabilities, their friends and families,
to the lifelong sport of cross country skiing by providing access
to adaptive equipment and instruction. It is Northeast Passage’s
goal to not only introduce this physically demanding sport to individuals
with disabilities, but to increase the awareness of adaptive skiing
among the non-disabled public by creating a visible and mobile cross
country sit-ski program.
Northeast Passage was recently named an Athlete Development Center for Nordic skiing by the U.S. Paralympics. Northeast Passage will be training athletes with physical disabilities and preparing them for elite level competition in Nordic skiing. Northeast Passage is looking for interested athletes to participate in this exciting new program! This opportunity is open to people with physical disabilities and individuals with visual impairments, ages 8-35. No previous experience necessary.
