Adaptive Methods
When we work with an adaptive student for the first time, we adopt a positive, strengths-based approach to identify the teaching style and equipment best suited for them. Instead of focusing on what the student cannot do, we explore what they can do. We then tailor a combination of equipment and learning techniques to enhance their physical and mental abilities, creating a positive learning experience. Our sessions are designed to work toward goals such as developing social skills, building confidence, and demonstrating that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.

Snowboard classes are categorized in a similar fashion. Each category might include a variety of students, but that does not mean any two students have the same disabilities.
For example, a visually impaired person might learn to ski using a bamboo pole held between two instructors. An cognitively impaired student might use a bamboo pole for a different reason—to stand upright, for instance. |
Sno-Go is another choice for all-mountain access whether you’re new to snow-sports or just interested in changing things up from skiing or snowboarding, one of the best parts about SNO-GO is how easy it is to learn. Sno-Go is also the first and only ski-bike company to be supported by the leading organization in ski and snowboard instruction and safety the Professional Ski Instructors of America and American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-AASI)
