Team Edwards

Ignite Adaptive Sports offers independence and liberation through the use of snowsports. I come from a skiing family and regularly use skiing and snowboarding as my own form of therapy. I believe in the power of the great outdoors and the power of community to make the world a better place.

Ignite Adaptive Sports has grown, and can only manage their "temporary" current space for another couple of years. Will you help us build Ignite a permanent home? If a child with impaired vision has the courage to ski, a soldier with a brain injury finds the resilience to ski bike, or a mom with multiple sclerosis musters the determination to bi-ski, we can find a way to build them the school they deserve.

I am part of a grassroots effort to raise $150,000 of the funds needed. With our host mountain, Eldora, we are "moving mountains" to make sure this goal becomes a reality. 

The new building will provide:


A larger, safer space for our students and the adaptive equipment they need.
A less crowded and hectic environment for those with cognitive impairments.
Direct lift access by way of a bridge to the lift line.
- Program stability and commitment to the disabled community.
1,500 or more lessons each season.



With this building, no student will be turned away due to space constraints. Your donation can make a difference. Please donate today!
