This is our most versatile sit ski program, catering to a wide range of students from those with very limited mobility to highly advanced sit skiers. Rather than offering a fixed 6-week program, individuals interested in the Seymour Saturday Sit Ski Program need to express their interest by completing the program registration before Friday, December 15, 2023, when a lottery will be held. The program costs $150 for three lessons or $50 for a drop-in session. The lottery will determine the order of preference for time and lesson blocks. The first name drawn will have the first choice, and this process will continue until all spots are filled. Those who do not secure a spot in the main program will be placed on a waiting/drop-in list and can fill any vacancies during the regular program, ensuring they get out at least once or twice on the drop-in days. All program or drop-in students must be members of BC Adaptive Snowsport and pay the $60 membership fee before taking any lessons, which can be done through the registration system when you register.
