CADS  - Canadian Adaptive Snowsports


CADS is a national organization dedicated to providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities to experience the joy of skiing and snowboarding. Through adaptive equipment and trained volunteers, CADS makes snowsports accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all abilities.

Ski Without Limits


CADS supports and encourages over 2100 participants living with disabilities to be active for life and to work towards long term development. CADS also supports over 1600 certified instructors and over 1500 volunteers to fully participate and to develop their skills to achieve their greatest impact.
