The Deaf Ski Program began in 1975. This is the only program of its kind
in the Northeast where downhill skiing lessons are given in
sign language or by using interpreters.

The six week program is open to Deaf children and adults.
Lessons for hearing family and friends are also available.

The program meets on Sundays at Toggenburg Ski Center in Fabius, NY,
just 30 minutes south of Syracuse.

The last Sunday of the program is a special Deaf Ski Day.
Awards are given to students and many people join for pizza,
skiing or just for friendship.
 

FAD is always looking for interpreters who can ski or snowboard to be a part
of the program. Many volunteers help to make the lessons run smoothly
and provide a great skiing and social opportunity for the Deaf community.
