The event is based around guide/skier pairings. A visually- impaired skier will be paired with a guide for the weekend. Mobility- impaired skiers will be provided with a sit ski and a guide for instructions. The the skiers and their guides will navigate the different ski areas, depending on the ability of the skier. (Note: visually-impaired and mobility-impaired persons are also refered to as skiers and participants throughout this web site.)
