The Mountains Are for Everyone - Adaptive Skiing and Independence with Chris Read

For many skiers, the ritual is simple: click into your skis,ride the lift, and chase turns on a bluebird day. But for individuals living with physical, cognitive, or developmental disabilities, accessing that same freedom often requires innovation, community, and a deep commitment toinclusion. In Crested Butte, Colorado, the Crested Butte Adaptive Sports Center (ASC) is quietly leading the way—redefining what’s possible in adaptive skiing and outdoor adventure.

In this bonus episode, we sit down with Chris Reid, Program Director at ASC, to explore how adaptive sports have evolved—and why this program stands out as one of the most comprehensive adaptive recreation centers in the country.
