What is the Winter Skiing Unlimited Program?
“Winter Skiing Unlimited” is a snow ski program for children and adults with diverse abilities. This program provides access to the sport of snow skiing for many disabled individuals who would otherwise be denied the opportunity to share in this exhilarating activity. With the help of trained volunteers and adapted equipment, there are few disabilities too severe to prevent participation in the sport of snow skiing.
*The minimum age to participate in this program is 7 years old and maximum weight is 150 lbs.

What is the cost of participation in the Winter Skiing Unlimited Program?
There is a $5 registration fee per skier, per session to reserve your spot. All payments must be made prior to the ski date unless other arrangements have been made with the director.

Program Location
All ski trips are held at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort. Please arrive between 9:00 - 9:30AM the day of your scheduled trip, meeting location is TBD. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from Dodge Ridge. A parent, guardian or attendant must bring participant to Dodge Ridge Ski Resort and be available in case of an emergency. Please check road conditions the morning of the scheduled trip to ensure your safety on Highway 108 at http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi or call 1-800-427-7623.
 
Confirmation & Cancellations
Please remember to call the Society office before noon on the business day before a scheduled trip to confirm it is still taking place. Due to severe weather, or an inadequate number of volunteers, the Society must at times cancel a scheduled trip. If you are scheduled to attend and find yourself unable to do so, please notify the office as soon as possible so we can make adjustments to attendance. It is important that you call and leave a message, regardless of the time, so that we do not record you as a “no show.” If you are a “no show” to a trip you are scheduled to be skiing, you will be ineligible to participate in future trips.

Equipment
Adapted sit-ski equipment for participants will be provided by the Society. For those who are stand skiers, you must bring your own equipment or contact Denis from Sunsports in Turlock at (209) 634-2073, in advance of the ski trip, for a loan of the necessary equipment. Participants must provide their own assistance if they are unable to provide for their own personal needs.

Clothing
Check local weather prior to the ski date to see what clothing is appropriate and comfortable. Snow pants, jacket, gloves, goggles, and a hat are recommended. We suggest you bring an extra pair of clothes for the ride home.

Food
The Society does not provide food or drinks during the ski trips. Please pack a lunch, drinks, and snacks or you can purchase food from the food court for an enjoyable day at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort. ALCOHOL is NOT permitted during any ski trips.
