Adaptive Action Sports hosting disabled military personnel and veterans at a three-day “Pipeline Learn to Ride and Race” Feb. 24-26 at Sierra-at-Tahoe.

The goal is to develop their snowboarding skills.

The camp, built on the framework of past successful AAS camps, is intended as the first in a series of AAS snowboard camps to be in South Lake Tahoe on an annual basis for Wounded Warriors.

One of AAS’s goals is to expand the series to include non-military disabled individuals, eventually resulting in development of a permanent home base for Adaptive Action Sports and adaptive snowboarding in the South Tahoe community.

With the expectation that Adaptive Snowboarding will soon be accepted as a Paralympic event, AAS hopes to provide adaptive veteran and other adaptive athletes a training pipeline with a potential end-goal of inclusion on a future US Paralympic Snowboard Team.

Seven disabled veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts will be attending the weekend camp.
