I'm leagally blind and want to learn how to snowboard. Do you know if any of the ski resorts in southern CA (Big Baar, Mammoth, I'm not sure if there are others) have such a program? Thanks.

i'm glad you mentioned Safeco. I went to a game there in May and enjoyed it immensely. i tend to focus on the seating locations, and the purchase of tickets (the buyer-> purchase process). often times there are a very limited number of seats where i can go. I asked where accessible seating was, and it is *EVERYWHERE* -> every section had accessible seating. the lady showed me the map and it was littered with that adorable blue handicap icon! i was stoked. i'm very impressed with Safeco. San Francisco's AT&T park (my closest MLB stadium) pales in comparison. great job Safeco!

Thanks for this list. It will be helpful especially if I take a trip to CO. I live in Reno, NV and very lucky to have Disabled Sports USA Far West (http://www.dsusafw.org/) offering year round opprtunities based in Lake Tahoe, NV and CA area. The skiing is especially a blast - see this video from my blog. thanks. http://lisa-sweetandsassy.blogspot.com/2008/07/disabled-sports-2008-fundraiser.html

He started racing after he lost his legs? Oh yeah, this guy is cool. Speed is intoxicating. To me, it's like M&M's: I start popping one or two, then it's by the handful, then I'm tearing into the bag! But then, Brogan also works on his own cars, and is putting siding on his house. And I particularly like that his family is his pit crew in life. Thank you for telling us about this, naomimimi! I'm going to link to you, so more people learn about this strong family. Abe Munder

Very cool trick! Looks like there were a lot of people there watching and supporting him too. Awesome!

I have also found that regions around major cities may have adaptive sports organizations in which to become involved. I know that Pittsburgh's program is called Three Rivers Adaptive Sports or TRAS for short.
