Rocky Mountain Adaptive

General Program Information

The Nordic Program runs on Saturdays, offering 3 different 1.5 hour small group lessons throughout the day. The program is led by RMA instructors, in partnership with Ultimate Para Sports Association.  This program focuses solely on classic nordic skiing, we do not cover skate nordic skiing.

Participants vary in age and ability. They may be in any of the adaptive ski disciplines (sit skiing, stand-up skiing) and have physical and/or neurodivergent challenges. 

This Opportunity

This opportunity is not for a specific participant. Instructors will assess where the highest volunteer need is and communicate roles to volunteers on the day. Depending on the balance of participants, staff, and volunteers, we may need to switch you to a different role. If this is the case, we will ask you first. If you are not comfortable doing so, please let us know. 

• Location: Canmore Nordic Centre
• What to Wear/Bring: Weather-appropriate layers of clothing, all personal equipment, pass (if you have one), water, nut-free snacks/lunch, and anything else you would like for a day of skiing.

Additional details (confirmation of time, exact meeting location, ticket information) will be sent out 2-3 days before the activity date. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact volunteer@rockymountainadaptive.com
