New England Regional Ski for Light is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1977 to promote the physical fitness of visually-impaired adults. It is the mission of New England Regional Ski for Light to sponsor physically demanding sports. In the winter, we cross country ski and snowshoe; in the summer, we hike, canoe, and tandem bicycle. People who are visually impaired or blind and those who are sighted join together in a unique one-on-one partnership to learn from each other in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere of camaraderie. In addition, NERSFL spreads its philosophy and experience to as many people each year as possible and serves as a resource to communities, organizations and individuals.

On Valentine's Day, NERSFL skiers, snowshoers and guides trained Bretton Woods Adaptive Program downhill ski guides to guide visually impaired cross-country skiers and snowshoers. Several new guides were trained in the basics of guiding on gentle terrain. Some of them will join NERSFL's March weekend for more training and guiding on Bretton Woods' cross-country trails. Joanne Jordan is seen practically attacking the hill with guide Ruth (and barely visable behind Joanne), Bill. Great going, Joanne! For more information about this event, click here. |
