ski event with foresight and snobahn action sports centers - a success!
What a great couple of events we had recently at SnoBahn Action Sports Center in Centennial and Thornton, Colorado.
Thank you to all who attended. Everyone seemed to have a great time!
There were skiers and a few snowboarders trying out the indoor slope. Some folks had never been on skis or a snowboard before, others hadn't been skiing or snowboarding since losing their sight. They were pleasantly surprised to learn that they picked right back up where they left off.

Beginners discovered that they really enjoyed skiing and want to do more. Some even thought they might return to SnoBahn to take a few lessons and improve their skills before coming to Vail to ski with Foresight. We hope they do! And as one of our guides, Katy, discovered, just because you know how to ski doesn't mean the indoor slope is easy. The slope got the best of her at one point! But she was still all smiles and laughter.
Thank you to SnoBahn for their generosity in partnering with us on this event. We hope to hold more in the future.

ski season - it's creeping up quickly!
Summer is winding down; the kids are back to school and Foresight is working feverishly behind the scenes getting ready for ski season. It won't be long before summer gives way to fall which then gives way to winter. The snow will begin falling before we know it and that's very exciting for those of us who love to ski.

foresight ski guides is now
foresight adventure guides for the blind!
With the addition of the summer camps we felt it necessary to update our name to reflect what Foresight offers to the blind and low vision community. Foresight offers skiing, snowboarding, hiking, SUP, rock climbing and more. Our official name is still Foresight Ski Guides but from this point on we'll be doing business as Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind.
Foresight is a 501c3 non-profit organization that promotes fun, safety and independence for people who are blind or experiencing low vision through accessible and goal-oriented outdoor adaptive experiences.
VISUALIZE THE POSSIBILITIES™Both our Visually Impaired Participants (VIPs) and highly skilled guides and shadows are transformed by the sense of personal achievement and mastery. With Foresight, personal limits disappear as we literally conquer mountains in the winter and the summer. Get involved now as a VIP or a guide and see how Foresight helps transform lives! |
AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLEForesight is dedicated to making outdoor recreation accessible and affordable to people who are blind or have low vision. Whether it's our established ski program or our summer camps for blind youth, Foresight strives to offer its programs at low or no cost to VIPs so all you have to worry about is having fun. |
