Ignite Adaptive Sports WHQ

Hello All,

As you know, I've spent the past 9 winters up at Eldora volunteering with Ignite Adaptive Sports. Whether working with children, Special Olympic racers, or Veterans, I've found the experience to be highly rewarding -- for the skiers, their parents (if relevant), and myself.

Ignite Adaptive Sports has grown, and we could only manage our "temporary" space for another couple of years. I was part of a grassroots effort to raise $150,000 of the funds needed, and we succeeded. With our host mountain, Eldora, and your support, we "moved mountains" to make this goal becomes a reality: the new building was completed in October 2026, and it is providing:


-- A larger, safer space for our students and the adaptive equipment they need.
-- A less crowded and hectic environment for those with cognitive impairments.
-- Direct lift access by way of a bridge to the lift line.

-- Program stability and commitment to the disabled community.
-- 1,600 or more lessons each season.



With this building, no student is being turned away due to space constraints. 

Looking forward, your continued support of Ignite can make a difference for our athletes. Please donate today!
