High Country Adaptive Sports

Welcome to High Country Adaptive Sports! We are a group of snow-sport lovers. For us, it is more than a hobby; it’s a life-style and a passion. We want to share that love and passion with all those who are interested.

When Alex Davenport started this program, his goal was to level the playing field and allow everyone a chance to experience going down the slopes, regardless of disabilities. We work with people who have all types of disabilities, from cognitive to physical.

We have the highly-trained staff and performance equipment you need to get started or to improve your skills.

We love what we do and we want to share it with you. If you or a loved-one are interested in our program, please contact us for lesson availability. See you on the slopes!
