Thank you for your interest in getting involved in Adaptive Sports Association (ASA) this winter! We’re always looking for enthusiastic new volunteers to join our team!
Here’s some general information about volunteering with our program. ASA is primarily volunteer-based and is always looking for more on-snow instructors. We don’t require any previous experience with instruction or with working with people with disabilities. We have need for both on-snow volunteers participating in lessons as well as in-house support. For those who want to be on snow, we only require volunteers to be intermediate skiers/snowboarders (you can safely make it down a blue ski trail).
We also provide in-house training that all volunteers are required to complete each season. All new volunteers are required to complete two days of training. You can find the schedule of all our training clinics and upcoming participant lessons on our Google calendar:

program@asadurango.com. If you absolutely cannot make any of these trainings, please let us know.
Lessons run seven days per week throughout the season. Lessons run typically from 10 AM to 3 PM although some groups arrive and/or depart at different times. A volunteer’s time commitment varies from person to person. We have instructors who volunteer three to four days per season and others who volunteer three to four days per week. It’s completely up to you. If you’re able to commit to 8 days during the winter season, you’re eligible to purchase a discounted season pass. If you're able to commit 15 days during the season, you will receive a free season pass for 23/24!. Otherwise, we provide lift tickets the day that you’re volunteering as well as an opportunity to earn discounted skiing/riding vouchers during the season.
