Adaptive Events coming to Bridger Bowl March 15-17, 2013

PSIA-NRM Adaptive is excited to announce that we are hosting an adaptive event here in Big Sky country. The event will be held at Bridger Bowl Resort just outside Bozeman. Bill Bowness will be here to host two days of clinics on upper level mono-skiing and steeps, and giving an adaptive Level I Exam (Please keep in mind that you will need a beacon for the steeps course, and if you do not have access to one, you will need to let us know). Bill has been mono-skiing since 1989, is a former paralympian and PSIA National Demo Team Coach. He currently is the adaptive technical director for DSUSA – Far West at Alpine Resort in the LakeTahoe area.

Josh Spoelstra from Heavenly at Lake Tahoe will be hosting the first NRM Adaptive Snowboard Exam. He is the Ski & Ride School Training manager at Heavenly, examiner for PSIA-West and just recently served on the AASI National Demo Team. Adaptive snowboarding is up and coming so don’t miss your chance to sign up.
