But that's a big hurdle for a lifetime snowboarder, so I've got to get my brain wrapped around that (hmm, sounds familiar, like what I had to do when I was diagnosed with MS)....Dave Bexfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372910409976557944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838498765761167784.post-85236158152855720442013-07-19T09:01:16.268-06:002013-07-19T09:01:16.268-06:00If any of you other guys who read this are interes...If any of you other guys who read this are interested in snowboarding or skiing, the NSCD (National Sports Center for the Disabled) (nscd.org) operates out of Winter Park (winterparkresort.com). They're pretty baller, and whatever your balance/tone level, they can help you get out on the snow, whether it's just a transition to skiing (way easier on balance), the little pontoon skis, or if your legs are just jacked, sit skis.<br /><br />In the summer, there's also biking, horseback riding, rafting, and other activities if you're out this way.fireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580061956636665000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838498765761167784.post-77006138138765789302013-03-29T21:43:40.528-06:002013-03-29T21:43:40.528-06:00I can't wait for next season too...

And then I found this blog.....I have been taking adaptive ski lessons now for 4 years ( well, first year was ONE lesson, and three hours on the beloved bunny slope...one hour to get down it the first time...) I had only been skiing about 3 years before the MS ( undiagnosed at that point) made it too difficult to keep an edge, so I stopped. Long story how I even thought of giving it another go, but I did, and just finished a fantastic season on St. Paddy's Day weekend. Still have my smile on for what this has given back to me. I am so happy to find people with MS who really share this joy of winter and movement.....and use outriggers!! Loved what you wrote....can relate so much to it!!<br />Thanks so muchVeronicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838498765761167784.post-50644809084285434132013-02-25T14:56:19.685-07:002013-02-25T14:56:19.685-07:00Thanks Andrea and Jen!
