ORCA Adaptive ski & snowboard program

Starting in January each year, ORCA partners with Eaglecrest’s Snowsports School to provide adaptive ski lessons every weekend until the snow melts. We have a wide array of equipment designed to empower people to overcome the challenges inherent in winter sports, regardless of their age, experience, or ability. Our gear closet includes several varieties of bi-skis, mono-skis, sliders, nordic sit-skis, stand up and hand held outriggers, and loads of assistive technologies and teaching aids. We have a deep bench of experienced staff and volunteers, including PSIA certified instructors with specializations in disciplines like Alpine, Adaptive, Senior Specialists, and more. We offer two types of sessions within our program: lessons & guides. Lessons are always conducted by PSIA certified instructors and are geared towards beginners or people with specific learning goals. Guides are accompanied ski sessions for folks that are comfortable with their current ski level, or aren’t actively pursuing goals, but are still looking for someone to ski with, or might need a little support on the mountain. Our program is housed in the Porcupine Lodge at the base of Eaglecrest mountain, just 15 minutes from downtown on North Douglas.
