Each winter program has daily time on the slopes with group-based and/or individual lessons for the soldiers. Group lunches and dinners allow participants and their families/caregivers to bond and find strength in one another's triumphs and tribulations. Après-ski activities include swimming, massages, a trip to the hot springs, shopping, relaxing and more! For more information about all of our veterans' recreational programs, contact Sarah Williams Volf at (970) 923-0578, ext. 217 or sarah@challengeaspen.com.
