Wounded Warriors from around the country will descend upon North Lake Tahoe in April for the Ability Challenge Snowsports Camp.

The week starts with the Ability Camp for 20 soldiers and Marines disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will receive specialized instruction in adapted snow skiing and snowboarding at the Disabled Sports Program Center at Alpine Meadows Resort.

From April 2-7 they will also participate in other winter recreation designed as part of their therapy and re-integration into the community.

On April 5 at Squaw Valley and April 6 at Alpine Meadows the Ability Challenge will feature donors, sponsors and disabled skiers for a day of on-hill activities. An awards presentation is scheduled at the end of the day.

The Ability BASH on April 6 has been one of North Tahoe’s premier fundraising events for 19 years. This dinner, dance and silent auction is an uplifting evening for all in attendance.
