The list grows. In terms of accessibility, these are just my impressions as a three-tracker (I ski on one leg), not as a sit-skier.
(Limited to resorts, not backcountry areas)
Canada
Alberta
- Lake Louise
- A few handicap parking right at the base.
- Sunshine Village
- Plenty of handicap parking spots and a wheelchair-accessible gondola. Sunshine Village is a generous partner/sponsor of Rocky Mountain Adaptive. I guess I also like Sunshine because I feel the least self-conscious skiing here because people are accustomed to seeing adaptive skiers all the time.
British Columbia
- Whistler/Blackcomb
- Revelstoke
- A few handicap parking spots at the base. It doesn’t strike me as the most sit-skier-friendly mountain.
- Fernie
- I had no problems but I think less mobile people would struggle with the way the mountain is organized, the terrain, and the lifts. I tend to have a tiring time in these British Columbia resorts because the snow is so deep and heavy (not my forte), but it makes me a better skier.
United States
Alaska
- Alyeska
- Challenge Alaska is based out of here. I skied here my very first season as a three-tracker and got my ass kicked because of the very wet, heavy snow conditions. It’s kind of wild to have a ski resort basically at sea level, which results in pea soup fog often.
California
- Kirkwood
- Heavenly
- Squaw Valley
- Mammoth Mountain
- Alpine Meadows
Oregon
- Mount Bachelor
Idaho
- Sun Valley
- Yawn. I feel like it’s a pretty boring resort for rich, mediocre skiers.
Wyoming
- Jackson Hole
- Might be my favourite resort because of all the lift-accessible back/side-country options. I don’t know how accessible it would be for sit-skiers; seems like it would be because of the diverse options.
Utah
- Alta
- I loved Alta when I skied it as an able-bodied person. However, as a three-tracker, I’m not a fan of all the cat-tracks.
- Snowbird
- One of my favourite resorts.
- Brighton
- Solitude
- Park City
- The national paralympic snow sports teams train here, so there are plenty of accommodations.
Colorado
- Aspen
- Telluride
- One of my favourite resorts. Found it to be highly accessible.
- Crested Butte
- Same as above
New Hampshire
- Loon Mountain
- I only skied here my very first time three-tracking. New England Disabled Sports is based out of here so it is highly accessible.
Vermont
- Jay Peak
- Home base when I am in the Northeast U.S. and the mountain I’ve skied at the most as a three-tracker in the Northeast. Only a few handicap parking spots at the base. I think people with limited mobility would struggle on this mountain because of the layout and lifts.
- Stowe
Switzerland
- Verbier
France
- Chamonix (February 2017)
Chile
- Nevados de Chillan (August 2017)
