#snowsports — Public Fediverse posts

If this didn't look quite so exhausting, I'd say it could be our chosen form of transport at the moment.

Snow Kite Endurance racing in Ragnarok. There's something quite beautiful in those colourful kite sails over the white landscape.

#VancouverIsland Society for #Adaptive #Snowsports #nonprofit organization is opening up registrations for 2025/2026 season on October 9th! I'm excited to sign up for Nordic lessons again. VISAS offers subsidized programs for #PeopleWithDisabilities & it's the only way I can afford to participate. I'm very grateful for their program 💗

This season, they're offering snowshoeing lessons for Nordic students interested. I'm planning to sign up for that in addition to doing more X-country in a #sitski training.
I am up at Mt. Washington January 5-8, 2026 for the annual Herb Bradley Festival. It's a week-long event to promote adaptive Snowsports, used to get people of all ages & abilities having fun on the snow.

Freestyle extreme snowshoeing... Could I have finally found the freestyle category for me?

Awesome news 😀 I got early notice that my application for 2025 VISSA program was processed & I've been accepted to participate. I'm participating in annual Herb Bradley Snowsports Festival - with all gear & lessons covered for Nordic. I haven't tried their Nordic program yet & am stoked to learn! I booked a day for more sitski training too - it's only $10 for program participants.

Ojistoh, my Mohawk sister-friend, is going with me as my support friend & personal assistant.

I am SO EXCITED!
It's been 4 years since I was last able to participate in adaptive snowsports!

These photos are from my lessons in 2020.

I'll find out in November if I will get a spot at 2025 VISSA at Mt. Washington. I want to try out their adaptive Nordic program, if I get in. I also want to practice more sitski because I'm interested in doing races if I can get good enough to qualify for competitive racing in the future. I loved riding it down from the Eagle lift summit a few times when I was accepted into program in 2020.

I love Winter & being up on the mountains in snow. I just don't have many opportunities to go up mountains in snowy Winter.
