What we do
Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports aims to make the mountain experience accessible to all people with disabilities. The organization welcomes students of all ages and uses adaptive equipment and specialized teaching to maximize each person’s independence and confidence on the slopes. VASS is operated by dedicated volunteers, including instructors and coordinators, and has been part of the community since 1974.
VASS operates primarily on Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains, with programs at Grouse, Cypress, and Seymour. Their geographic focus is local, providing opportunities for participants from North Vancouver and nearby communities. There is no evidence of national or international program delivery, and the main activities are hosted at these three well-known ski areas.
Key programs at VASS include adaptive skiing and snowboarding lessons for beginners to advanced participants. The organization offers stand-up skiing, sit-ski, snowboarding, and adaptive ski racing, alongside specialized teaching techniques for different abilities. Instructors are certified through Canadian Adaptive Snowsports (CADS). VASS also pilots new activities such as snowshoeing to broaden its offerings.
