In spite of a rainy very rainy Saturday (a little over 2″ in 24 hours) the first annual Wintergreen Adaptive Sports Snowfest salvaged it all on Sunday. The weekend consisted of adaptive ski demonstrations, along with musical entertainment by the Tara Mills Band.

Clockwise from left to right Casey McInerny from Arlington, Virginia, Casper Cosmo from Stockholm, Sweden, Damion Armour from Wintergreen, Virginia, and Sam Shaver from Nellysford, Virginia, assist Michael Murphy from Arlington, Virginia into a mono-ski chair. Poles that assist with steering and braking are shown laying upon the blue chair.
