This Saturday, March 12, Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) will be hosting the 5th Annual Ski For All at Mt. Bachelor. For 2022, the Ski For All fundraiser will return as an in-person, all-day, all-abilities, ski-a-thon event to showcase the OAS vision in action.

Oregon Adaptive Sports provides life-changing outdoor recreation experiences to individuals with disabilities and envisions a day when everyone has the benefits of outdoor recreation, regardless of ability. Over 200 participants including dozens of adaptive athletes will challenge themselves to ski and ride as much as they can in one day while completing various challenges, all while raising funds to support the OAS mission.

New this year, OAS will be shaking up the format to increase the fun, challenge, and inclusiveness of the event, while still recognizing the top “vert” totals. Participants will compete to ski and ride as much vertical on any/all open terrain at Mt. Bachelor, while also completing fun and inclusive challenges to improve their score.

Registration is $50 for adults; $30 for youth (or committing to raise at least $50).

Participants also have the opportunity to purchase a discounted single-day lift ticket for $69.
