SKI SPECTACULAR

I'm lucky to be going to Colorado to attend National's 25th Ski Spectacular an event I created about 30 years ago. It was originally called "Winterfest".

It's a great event because it includes people from DSUSA chapters across the nation and special guests. As in recent years, they will be wounded warriors permanently disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. About 80 along with there spouses will be there. In attendance, too,wil be National's Youth Development Team comprised of aspiring paralympians.

Instructors will attend clinics conducted by the staff of PSIA's Adaptive Academy. Past President Doug sato will run the Learn to Race clinics.

I'm hoping to see you there.

Please join us for a unique pairing event. With each course you will receive a paired beer and a paired wine.
