← Back to Retreats

Intensity Level – Medium to High

Ready for your next big leap? This retreat is built for the warriors who’ve said “I’ve never skied — but I want to!” This event is open to those that have never skied before or have tried once or twice. 

We’ve teamed up with the Adaptive Sports Association to offer 3 days of one-on-one private instruction in downhill skiing, sit-skiing, snowboarding, ski-bikes and more!  All equipment and ski clothing (head-to-toe) are included so you can focus on the experience, not gear.

Plus, as a grand introduction to the Rocky Mountains we will take a ride on the scenic Cascade Canyon Winter Train: a 5½ hour tour through snowy landscapes, including a 60-minute lay-over to stretch your legs, eat lunch, and explore the snow-covered terrain.

Beginners are welcomed with open arms. You don’t need prior ski experience — just willingness to show up and try something new.

Participants must be able to navigate snow-covered surfaces and stairs. Lodging is not ADA compliant or truly wheelchair accessible.

This event is open to 6 Purple Hearts – priority given to those that have not traveled with Warrior Bonfire Program or those new to skiing.

Lodging, travel, food, and activities are at no expense to the warrior. 

Event dates include travel days
