Join us for the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum's Jan. Red Bench event: On-Snow Opportunities for People with Disabilities. Hear athletes and representatives in Vermont's adaptive sports communities discuss their commitments to making active lifestyles a reality for those with disabilities. Be inspired by stories of those Vermonters who have overcome disabilities, and those who are making this all happen by empowering people with disabilities to develop independence and well-being and providing them with opportunities to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in Vermont. Learn about advances in adaptive snow sports instruction, equipment, and training for adaptive coaches.

Panelists include: Kelly Brush Davisson, founder of the Kelly Brush Foundation, Patrick Standen, Co-Founder of Northeast Disabled Athletic Association, Maggie Burke, Managing Director at Vermont Adaptive, Joe Hurley, Executive Director of BART Adaptive Sports Center, and Cynthia Needham, President of Friends of Stowe Adaptive Sports.

Craft beer provided by Collective Arts Brewing, wine and cider also available. $10 entry donation. Thank you to our series sponsors: Collective Arts Brewing, Sisler Builders, and VT Ski + Ride.
