Kicking off winter early — in a mall.
Winter arrived ahead of schedule for five High Fives athletes on October 22, as they hit the slopes of Big SNOW American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Indoor skiing meant no waiting for the first snowfall, just an opportunity to reconnect with the magic of sliding on snow.
Athletes sharpened turns, rebuilt confidence, and celebrated early-season progress, all under the bright lights of the American Dream mall. The day brought an extra dose of inspiration when the athletes had the chance to ride with Olympic icon Shaun White, creating memories that will stay top-of-mind all winter long.
Adaptive sports thrive when access meets opportunity and Big SNOW continues to prove that adventure can happen anywhere.
Here’s to more laps and more high fives this season!
