ABSF enables blind and visually impaired individuals to ski and snowboard with qualified guides at a variety of ski areas throughout the ski season. Blind and visually impaired skiers/snowboarders, of varying levels of experience, work with guides so that they can enjoy a fascinating winter sport. Sighted guides ski in front of or behind visually impaired skiers so that they can assist their skier traverse slopes of differing degrees of difficulty.
