Empowering Athletes, Breaking Barriers: The Legend Returns

Get ready to hit the slopes for the most meaningful miles of the season! On Sunday, March 23, 2025, the 37th Annual Maine Adaptive Ski-A-Thon returns to Sunday River. This high-energy event is the heartbeat of Maine’s adaptive community, bringing together over 400 volunteers and hundreds of athletes to celebrate the transformative power of inclusive sports.

This isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a movement. Every dollar raised ensures that Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation can continue providing free, year-round education and training for individuals with disabilities. From the first-time mono-skier discovering the freedom of the mountain to veterans finding camaraderie in the snow, the Ski-A-Thon makes the impossible possible.
