We have room this season for some new adaptive snowboard students. First time ever we have instructor and no students. If you know of someone who might like to try snowboarding or learn to snowboard let us know. Email us at EKAS.club.

We are planning for another season on the snow. As it has always been for the club we have more students wishing to come ski than we have volunteer instructors. So we are looking for people who might be interested in getting involved. The club is able to train anyone who is interested. Lessons happen on Sundays for the students. If you or someone you know is interested and would like more information, please get in touch with us. Lesson start January 15 2023.

The ski season is fast approaching, We will be running a full program again this season. There will need to be Covid protocols in place . CADS has a two vaccination rule in place for those of age.
We are looking for more people who would like to get involved with the program.
More information to come as we get closer to registration. We will be starting mid January.
