by American Blind Skiing Foundation
The American Blind Skiing Foundation (ABSF) is a national nonprofit chartered in Illinois in 1971 whose purpose is to provide an educational skiing programme open to any blind or visually impaired person, delivering physical and psychological therapeutic value through sport. The entire organisation relies on donations to fund ski trips and on volunteers to provide all instruction and guiding.
ABSF organises ski trips and events at resorts across the country, pairing blind and visually impaired athletes with qualified volunteer guides for one-on-one downhill ski and snowboard instruction. Financial assistance is available for participants who face economic barriers, and ABSF membership provides discounts on lift tickets, equipment rental, lodging, and transportation.
ABSF serves blind and visually impaired children and adults of all skill levels — from complete beginners taking their first run to experienced skiers seeking advanced technique — building confidence and independence that extend beyond the slopes.
