For Skiers
As a blind or partially sighted skier, you will be paired up with a guide. No previous skiing experience is required, guides are responsible and supportive, happy to instruct beginners. You meet on the first night and discuss what you hope to do and how you want to work together. You ski as much or as little as you want. Your guide accompanies you on the trails and is also often available to help out and socialize at meals. You will gain a sense of accomplishment and an opportunity to participate in a fun outdoor activity.
For Guides
Guiding is a rewarding commitment. You will be paired with a blind or visually impaired skier. The match will be based on mutual ability and other factors. This pairing is necessary to form the bond of trust, communication and clarity that is so important for a blind or visually impaired skier to feel safe and have fun during the week. Some skier-guide partnerships have lasted 15 years, while some guides enjoy the fun of guiding someone new each year. There is an opportunity for guides to do some skiing on their own or in groups on the free day.
“Ski for Light Canada is an inclusive event with great skiing, games and parties. It is an opportunity to participate at any level. It is a stellar event.”
Sandy Lecour, Skier
