25th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic
March 27 – April 1, 2010 Snowmass Village, Colorado.
This event is the world leader in promoting rehabilitation by instructing Veterans with disabilities in adaptive Alpine and Nordic skiing, and introducing them to a number of other adaptive recreational activities and sports. For many newly injured Veterans, including many injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Clinic offers their first experience in winter sports and gives them the inspiration to take their rehabilitation to a higher level. Participants include Veterans with spinal cord injuries, amputations, traumatic brain injuries, neurological challenges, and visual impairments. Photo Courtesy Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
