Slide & Ride event helps more Albertan’s experience the freedom of hitting the slopes
MEDICINE HAT, AB. – Canadian Adaptive Snowsports Alberta (CAD’s) is trying to ensure all Albertan’s get the chance to hit the slopes regardless of abilities.
The Slide & Ride event is taking place across the province this winter and made a stop just outside of Medicine Hat at Hidden Valley Ski Resort on Saturday. Participants are able to use adaptive ski’s and snowboards while receiving one on one instruction to help them take off on the snow.
Tim Tratch has been volunteering as a ski instructor with CAD’s for 13 years. He said the fundamentals of skiing whether you’re using two blades or one, is virtually same.
