About the Clinic

Celebrating its 26th year, the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic has been a leader in helping Veterans with disabilities rehabilitate by introducing them to adaptive winter sports on the majestic Colorado Rockies in Snowmass, Colorado.

All of the participants are Veterans with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic amputations, visual impairments, certain neurological conditions and other disabilities. This includes Veterans with an inpatient or outpatient status with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and active duty military servicemen and women.

Journey to the Mountain

Cory See began snowboarding around the same time he started learning his ABC’s.

“I think I was six when my mom gave me my first tiny snowboard for Christmas and it became kind of a tradition. I’d get a new board every year, See said. “As I got older, I really started to get into it; going off jumps and just being a crazy teenager.”

See and his friends would make a snowboarding pilgrimage to Vermont every winter. “I was very competitive. I spent all my time snowboarding at the parks with rails and jumps and other fun things to get hurt on.”
