At the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, there’s no single profile of a participant.
Veterans arrive from different branches, eras, and life experiences. Some are just beginning to navigate a new reality after injury. Others have spent decades adapting. But on the slopes, those differences fade, replaced by a shared pursuit of movement, independence, and community.
Two Veterans, one 23, the other 84, show that while their personal adaptive sports experiences that brought them to the Winter Sports Clinic differ, they ultimately lead to the same place: healing.
