Sit Ski Build on Dec 05, 2009
As many of you know, the Madison Winter Festival started a sit ski program 4 years ago with the support of Don Becker and CXC picked it up this spring at the region-wide level.
We are continuing to build 250 sit skis which will be distributed to the ski clubs and ski areas around Midwest for free use by individuals with disabilities. The goal is to provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy the sport we all love. Thank you to everyone who came and helped last time!
You can learn more about Adaptive Ski Program for individuals with disabilities at this link http://cxcskiing.org/site_pages/adaptive/about.htm.
This Saturday will be third weekend where local high school students will be gathering together to build sit skis. We can use your help to finish up this exciting project. Here is a link to the article from the first sit ski build gathering: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/local_schools/article_a56a2314-c108-11de-afa0-001cc4c002e0.html
