ABSF Trip to Breckenridge in 2011

In April, 2011, Jenise Jensen went skiing with members of ABSF at Breckenridge in Colorado. She has written a great atricle about the trip which can be found at http://buzz.snow.com/channels/buzz_channels/snow-squad/b/weblog/archive/2011/04/10/the-american-blind-skiing-foundation.aspx and she posted a video of the trip at http://buzz.snow.com/videos/buzz_videos/snow_squad/m/snow_squad/5503.aspx. ABSF thanks Jenise for spreading the word about our organization and the great times we have.

Contact ABSF if you would like to volunteer as a ski guide-and help show some other visually impaired people that skiing is too fun not to do just because you can’t see well!

ABSF is endorsed by the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council (CMSC). Some ABSF blind skiers have become proficient in racing and have participated and won medals while others just ski for the fun and exhilaration.  ABSF welcomes everyone.

This totally volunteer organization depends on voluntary contributions and fundraising activities to continue its work.  Tax deductible contributions can be sent to
