Mark Masto – Senior Guide

Around 1983 I began guiding blind and visually impaired people (VIPs) with the Colorado School for the Deaf & Blind and Vail’s visually impaired ski program. I have been associated with Foresight Ski Guides (FSG) since its inception in 2001 as a Senior Guide and Trainer.

Guiding gives me the opportunity to create relationships with our VIP community and their families, allowing me the ability to give back and share in a sport I love. I also think it’s important to reunite VIPs with family members, giving them the chance to ski as a family.

Our participants, especially the kids, get so much out of this program. As one of our young skiers once said, “If I can do this, I can try anything” and I agree!
