2016 Snowmass Disabled Veterans WSC

Donation protected

Once again, Snowmass Village is going to be the gracious host to the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic. This event has been hosted in Snowmass Village annually since 2001, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our local community. Last winter the Snowmass Village community showed a tremendous outpouring of support for disabled veterans by donating enough money to bring more than 26 participants to the 2015 National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass Village. This year, we're again asking you to help surpass last year and bring at least 30 men and women to Snowmass April 3 – April 8, 2016.


These veterans are arriving from locations all across the U.S. Their injuries and physical challenges can be severe and range from visual impairments, to traumatic brain injuries, to amputations. The Winter Sports Clinic presents meaningful experiences to these individuals, and gives participants the courage to learn or try something new while providing them a variety of rehabilitation opportunities.

Hosted in Snowmass Village for 15 years, the Winter Sports Clinic is the largest annual disabled veteran's winter sports clinic in the world. It provides a chance for disabled veterans of all ages to experience skiing, snowboarding, hockey, and a variety of other sports. For many, participation in the Clinic has been a life-changing experience.

All attendees must raise their own money for lodging and airfare, estimated at $1,600 per individual. We ask you to please help sponsor one or more of these recently disabled young vets in whole or in part. Any size donation makes a difference.

Thank you for helping to provide hope and encouragement to these men and women who have given so much for their country. Also, when you see the attendees around the Village during the Winter Sports Clinic, please take the time to thank these men and women for their service.
