7 Adaptive Athletes. 1 Indoor Mountain. Unlimited High Fives! Who says you need a mountain to go skiing?!
On October 20, High Fives Foundation brought seven adaptive athletes to Big SNOW American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for a one-of-a-kind indoor skiing and snowboarding experience.
Located inside the American Dream shopping and entertainment complex, Big SNOW offered athletes the opportunity to trade ocean waves for snowy slopes, all without ever stepping outside!
Just days after surfing the Jersey Shore, athletes geared up with adaptive equipment and hit the indoor snow for a session filled with progression, laughter, and plenty of HIGH FIVES.
High Fives athlete Nick Fairall shared:
“It was a fast paced crazy few days, with a lot of adaptive equipment, but with the help of our Highfives Ohana, everyone had a blast and an amazing time participating in sports that we love!”
From surfing in the Atlantic Ocean to sliding on snow inside a mall, this New Jersey adventure showcased the incredible versatility of adaptive sports and the power of a community that makes it all possible.
Different Sports. Same Stoke. One High Fives Ohana!
