New Members Welcome

Students/Athletes:

Welcome to CADS-NCD at Calabogie – we are excited about adaptive skiing and look forward to meeting you.

CADS stands for Canadian Association of Disabled Skiing but we like to think of ourselves as an Adaptive Ski Centre of Excellence.

Our mission is to be safe and to have fun on the snow and to provide an excellent learning experience. How our program works is that we run a seven week teaching session each Sunday from the Centre of Excellence at Calabogie Peaks. We pair our students/athletes with Instructors and they have an outstanding time together exploring how to develop their skills out on the hill.

We have a variety of tools available to us and a state of the art equipment room which we take pride in. Each year we review our safety training; offer a tethering clinic and sit-ski techniques with our CADS instructors. We emphasis ongoing training of our instructors and they hold certifications recognized by the Canadian Association of Disabled Skiing. We are proud to develop both our students and instructors.

We work with individuals with physical and/or mental disabilities and those who have been injured such as Veterans. We welcome everyone to participate in our program and do our very best to make sure our partnering of instructors to students/athletes have outstanding results. Many of our students and athletes come back year after year and our bond and the experiences keep on getting better.

The program is divided into a Sunday morning, 10:00 to 12:00 session and a Sunday afternoon session from 1:00 to 3:00 as this allows us to be able to fully utilize our instructors and equipment. Normally we have two designated CADS instructors assigned to each individual to help them develop and have fun on the slopes.

The program starts the first Sunday in January and if you are interested in knowing more about how to register, the cost to be a part of the program, insurance through the CADS National organization, down to what you need to bring and wear we are happy to review all of this with you.

So do you think you want to have fun this winter? Email or Call us and find out more before the snow starts to fly.
