As the northeast patiently waits for Mother Nature to bring on the winter weather, skiers and snowboarders should be reminded that there are reliably snow conditions 365 days a year at Big SNOW American Dream in New Jersey.
Every day is a snow day at North America’s first and only indoor, real-snow, year-round ski resort. Recently 3-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White joined High Fives Foundation athlete Trevor Kennison to take a quick lap through their terrain park.
Trevor is redefining what’s possible in adaptive skiing after a life-changing spinal cord injury. Together he and Flying Tomato ripped through rails, jumps, and high-energy laps on the indoor slopes.
Fives Foundation supports adaptive athletes like Trevor in returning to the sports they love stronger than ever. Learn more about this incredible organization below.
The High Fives Foundation
An Adaptive Sports Foundation with Heart
Mission
High Fives focuses on preventing life-changing injuries and provides resources and hope if they happen.
Vision
Create a universal shift in adventure sports that expands what is possible for those who have faced life-changing injuries.
Empowering Live, One Athlete At A Time
Physical disabilities resulting from a life-altering accident and cognitive disabilities potentially resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are more than challenging but our Foundation has realized that recovery can be found in community.
With the help of our rehabilitation services, adaptive sports programs, and adaptive sports center, High Fives Athletes have returned to active lives with some going on to participate in the Paralympic Games and Special Olympics.
Out Community Is What Drives Us
We are inclusive. We are better together. We are a team. At High Fives, we practice what we preach and inspire one another. We are skiers. We are surfers. We are anglers. We love what we do, and even though life may be different, we love it all the same.
