Northern Michigan Adaptive Sports - NMAS

Our last NMAS event held on 3/02 was fantastic! Thank you to all of our participants and their families who joined us on the hill. Thanks to all of our wonderful and talented volunteers, and a shout out to the beautiful Crystal Mountain for their amazing support! We look forward to seeing you all next ski season.
Please reach out by text or email if you are interested in volunteering, or would like information regarding becoming a participant.

Videos to follow!

Our first NMAS lesson/event of the season was AMAZING! Loads of fresh powder greeted all of our fabulous volunteers and participants at Crystal Mountain. Check out the pictures and videos of everyone enjoying their time on the slopes!

Our next two events are scheduled for 2/10/24 and 3/02/24. Anyone interested in being a part of this awesome program, send us an email or shoot us a text!

Good afternoon and happy holidays from NMAS!

iiiiiiiiiittttttt's TIME!

The snow is falling, it's mid-December, and we're here announcing this season's dates for Northern Michigan Adaptive Sports (formerly NMASAR).

1/20, 2/10, and 3/02 - all Saturdays. As always we are very much looking forward to our 2024 adaptive ski and snowboarding events at the beautiful Crystal Mountain!!! Please contact us at 231-342-2518 or
[email protected] if interested in being a volunteer or participant.

All of this snow and sunshine reminded me of the last promised update!

March 4th was our final session Crystal Mountain and it was another terrific day with our participants and volunteers. Speaking of Crystal Mountain, THANK YOU!!! If it wasn't for you awesome folks, we wouldn't even be here to talk about this. Crystal is always beyond accommodating, professional, and welcoming to their resort - both on and off the mountain, so be sure to thank them for all of their help over the years in any way you can.

Here are the rest of the pictures (and a video!) from our final Saturday on the slopes this season. Lastly, thank you - to you, our followers! This wonderful group needs exposure in order to grow and expand, that is in part to traffic we receive on our FB page, so thank you, one and all, for another terrific season.

See you next season and have a great Summer!

After taking two years off we've had such an incredible season at Crystal Mountain, and after this last Saturday we can say THAT'S A WRAP on NMAS for 2023!

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful volunteers for assisting with pulling the program off, thank you to those of you who help spread the word of our mission and help connect us with more help, but most importantly...

THANK YOU to our participants!!! You are the entire reason we do this and without you and your endless determination to learn, meet us, and remain courageous in the face of a mountainous challenge, we would not be here. Thank you!

Attached is pictures and videos of our second session on the slopes. More media is coming (particularly of our final session this last Saturday) and will be uploaded as soon as possible so check our page in the coming weeks/months. That said, get out there, enjoy the rest of Winter, welcome Spring, Summer, and Fall, and we'll look forward to the following 2024 NMAS season!

Everyone had an incredible day on the slopes!! One of the best, most productive and rewarding days in memory, so incredibly proud of our participants for coming out and CRUSHING another day of skiing some picture perfect conditions at Crystal Mountain. Videos and pictures will be posted soon so keep an eye on our page - and feel free to share with friends and family!

This next Saturday is the next and final event for the year, but don't let that dissuade you from reaching out with any questions or comments for the program. We will be working hard to bring you an even better season next year, so stay tuned and we'll bring you all of the latest news and events.

Thank you for following this amazing group, and here's to another year soon to be in the books!

Some photos and videos!

As many of you may (or may not) have seen Crystal Mountain's post - we're officially back in action!!!! (also, check out their page!)

Words cannot express how excited we all are to be on the slopes again, working hard with our incredible participants who wish to achieve more independence as well as enjoy a day on the slopes.
