Specific goals of SOLO are to:

• Provide Alpine and Nordic Ski Programs in the winter months (weather permitting) of each year

• Provide opportunities for family members to take an active role in the ski programs

• Promote independent behavior in all aspects of outdoor leisure activities

• Develop outdoor educational and recreational programs during the winter season

• Provide participants with leisure education such that they can become acquainted with opportunities available in the community

Students are of all ages, both youth and adults. They have a wide range of special needs. We've even had a few blind skiers over the years. There's no way to make a generality here. Each student skier truly brings her/his own personality and set of abilities. Some students learn quickly, and some learn just a little bit at a time.
