I spent two week sit-skiing in Whistler in December. They have an amazing programme there with top-notch instructors, kit provided and an excellent atmosphere overall. The Whistler Adaptive Sports Programme (WASP).

I looked into the Calgary programme but it looked as though it required lots of work to get onto - had to be there for registration in October and then only certain dates were open.

I've never skied at the COP but I hear that they have a decent disabled ski program which can provide lessons.

I ski out at Sunshine Village, Nakiska and Lake Louise, get a few lessons at COP then get out into the mountains for some real skiing, give me a shout if you need any help or info.
