Angel Fire Resort offers adaptive ski and snowboard lessons designed to empower individuals with disabilities.
Our mission is to help you develop new skills, build confidence, and enjoy the freedom of the mountain in a safe and supportive environment.
We strive to create lessons that deliver positive physical, psychological, and therapeutic results for every participant.

Adaptive lessons are available daily at 12 PM and 2 PM (2-hour sessions).
During peak season, a 10 AM session may also be available upon request.
For stand-up students, particularly those on the autism spectrum or new to the sport, we recommend a one-hour private lesson at 9 AM for a calm and personalized introduction to the slopes.
