Adaptive Lessons
Adaptive lessons designed to make skiing and snowboarding accessible to everyone.
Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the mountain. In partnership with Rocky Mountain Adaptive, Sunshine offers adaptive skiing and snowboarding experiences tailored to each participant’s abilities, goals and needs.
Adaptive Lessons
Ski, Snowboard & Sit Ski
Personalized instruction for a range of abilities and skill levels, with adaptive techniques, specialized equipment and support based on each participant’s needs.
Ski/Ride Buddies
Extra Support On The Mountain
For skiers and riders who can participate independently but would benefit from a little extra support exploring the mountain, RMA’s trained volunteer buddies are there to help.
Personalized To You
Adaptive lessons are tailored to each participant’s abilities, goals and needs, with specialized instruction and adaptive equipment available where appropriate.
Ski, Snowboard & Sit Ski
RMA supports a range of ways to experience the mountain, whether you’re learning for the first time or building on existing skills.

Meeting At Sunshine
Rocky Mountain Adaptive’s winter base is located in the Village at the top of the Sunshine Gondola. Participants meet outside the RMA Shed, located to the left after exiting the Gondola.
Getting To Your Lesson
Plan to arrive at the Sunshine base approximately one hour before your lesson to allow time for the Gondola ride and any required lift tickets or rentals.
Lift Tickets & Rentals
Lift tickets and rentals are not automatically included with every RMA program. Requirements vary depending on the experience, so confirm what you’ll need with Rocky Mountain Adaptive when booking.
Questions About Your Experience?
Because every participant’s needs are different, Rocky Mountain Adaptive is the best resource for questions about eligibility, adaptive equipment, lesson requirements and accessibility.
