Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra - Mammoth Lakes, California

This place is amazing! My family recently utilized their services for our 7 year old autistic son. Going into the lesson I thought there was maybe a 10% chance he would actually ski. His instructors immediately made him feel so comfortable and confident. The next thing I knew he was riding the magic carpet and skiing down the hill. It brought tears to my eyes seeing him try something out of his comfort zone and excel at it!

If you’re a parent of an autistic child I can’t recommend Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra enough!

Special thanks to his instructor, Pat, you made our whole trip!

My mother had sustained a serious knee injury a number of years ago (torn ACL and meniscus). Recently, she re-injured the same knee. She realized that the ski season was over for her and thought that she would possibly never ski again. Then, I discovered Disabled Services Eastern Sierra. With the help of their adaptive equipment and awesome staff, my mother’s slope time was restored. A huge shoutout to this awesome organization for the job they are doing in bringing joy into the lives of people like my mother and so many others. These people make dreams come true. Many of their staff our volunteers and selflessly give so that others can get. The staff is very accommodating. They bend over backwards to help you. All of this is done at a very reasonable price (so don’t forget to tip well). This is a 5 star, A+, over-the-top organization. 10/10 would recommend!

I absolutely love this program. After spending all day Saturday with instructors Ross and Ryan and all morning Sunday with my instructors Linda and Shawn, I was beyond amazed with their knowledge, guidance and encouragement. I had 24 total runs, 19 of them clean, and 5 falls. I went 10/10 on Sunday with no falls, which I largely attribute to Linda’s ability to teach my tactics that continued to grow my independence and ability. As a guy who has limited use of my left limbs, I never thought I’d ever ski. Then, during Christmas 2018/New Year’s 2019, my wife convinced me to learn how to ski alongside our young daughters. While I first caught balance on skis then, I haven’t skied since, until the Disabled Sports Instructors helped me achieve milultiple personal breakthroughs this New Year’s weekend. They truly amazing and I can’t thank them enough. In the words or Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator Arnold, not Governer Arnold) “I’ll be back.”

DSES is basically a group of angels. This fantastic non profit aims to help those with impaired abilities to get out on the slopes and shredding. If you or anybody you know has a disability of any kind and want to experience the slopes get in touch with DSES!
