Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico

Thanks for another great season @skisantafe! Our program wouldn't be possible without Ski Santa Fe's amazing support year after year. Thanks also to all the athletes and volunteers who joined ASPNM on the slopes this year - we appreciate you!

Last week we got to enjoy spring skiing AND rock climbing - talk about a good week! Whether they're scaling the walls of Stone Age Climbing Gym or conquering the slopes of Ski Santa Fe, our athletes are always reaching new heights!

It’s wonderful to see programs like this one. Thanks, The North Face, for creating an Athlete Development Program and encouraging adaptive athletes to apply!

Our friends over at The North Face are creating an Athlete Development Program and are encouraging adaptive athletes to apply! From mentorship with team athletes to educational sessions and collaboration opportunities, The North Face's new Athlete Development Program is ready to give a select group of diverse and emerging athletes the resources to amplify their talent.

POWWWW DAY!!!! ❄️❄️❄️
What a way to wrap up our 6-week program at Ski Santa Fe! So much fun was had today and every day of our ski program this year! Thanks so much to all the athletes and volunteers who have joined us so on the slopes - we’re looking forward to some more great sliding over the next month!

TGIF! This ski sums up our feelings perfectly after another great day at @skisantafe!

Adaptive athlete makes a long-distance commitment to skiing in Santa Fe

Read all about it! Check out this great article from The Santa Fe New Mexican featuring ASPNM athlete Taylor, who's been skiing with us for 20+ years! We appreciate all the athletes and volunteers who remain committed to our program year after year - here's to many more!

Adaptive athlete makes a long-distance commitment to skiing in Santa Fe Taylor Kuhn travels from Phoenix on winter weekends to take lessons with Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico.

We are heartbroken to share the news that our dear friend, Andrew Casados, passed away recently after a long battle with liver disease. Andrew volunteered with the ASPNM ski program for 22 years. Throughout those years, Andrew could always be counted on to be one of the first to arrive on the mountain, excited to share his love of skiing with ASPNM athletes and his fellow volunteers. Andrew always had a warm smile for everyone, and often shared how blessed he felt to be on the mountain amongst friends. We hope everyone will take a moment on the slopes to think of Andrew and appreciate his many contributions to ASPNM. He will be dearly missed by the ASPNM family, and we are wishing his family peace and comfort during this difficult time. A celebration of Andrew's life will be held at a later date.

We like big dumps and we cannot lie! ❄️❄️❄️ ⛄️⛄️⛄️ ❄️❄️❄️
Today was a surprise powder day and we had the most fun! Hard to believe we are halfway through our six week program. It’s been so wonderful to see all the progress our athletes are making each week. Big thanks to all our instructors and athletes, and to Ski Santa Fe! See you next weekend!

We hope you all had a wonderful weekend on the mountain. There’s nothing like some fresh snow to make us point our boards downhill! We’re rolling full speed ahead with our six week program and already looking forward to more fun next week!

It was great to be back at Ski Santa Fe for training with our new and returning volunteers this weekend. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out, and special thanks to the @skisantafe team who help us out SO much. Lift operators, safety team, ski patrol, ticket office, and everyone else - we appreciate you! THINK SNOW & #skibueno!

If you did not get the chance to get your hands on one of these beautiful wreaths you are in luck! We have a very limited quantity of the 26" size wreaths still available in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

We have 16 Wreaths left in Albuquerque and 10 left in Santa Fe
