Adaptive Sports Program

New Mexico



Enhancing the lives of children and adults with disabilities through recreation.


About ASPNM

Since 1985, the Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico has offered therapeutic recreational activities to children and adults with disabilities. Today, ASPNM proudly offers a wide variety of adaptive sports year round, including skiing, snowboarding, watersports, river rafting, archery, rock climbing and more. 


Programs are open to children and adults with disabilities at locations throughout New Mexico. Some programs are open to family members and caregivers. Veteran-specific programs are offered periodically throughout the year. If you are interested in getting involved as an athlete, volunteer, or supporter, please contact us for more information.


We look forward to having you join us!

How Can I Help ASPNM?


By supporting the Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico, you help create inclusive opportunities for hundreds of children, adults, and veterans with disabilities to fully participate in recreational sports and activities. From adaptive skiing and rock climbing to archery and river rafting, your generosity helps remove barriers and make sure everyone can experience the joy, challenge, and connection these activities bring.


There are many ways to support ASPNM—from volunteering your time and talents, to making a donation, to participating in our annual fundraisers. However you choose to give, you help create opportunities, build confidence, and have an impact.

ASPNM is excited to once again host its popular multi-week ski and snowboard programs at both Ski Santa Fe and Sandia Peak — but spots fill quickly!

  • Review the schedules in advance and decide which mountain and day work best for you. (Please note: sit-skiing is only available at Ski Santa Fe, not Sandia Peak.)
  • Sign up for our emails so you’ll know the moment registration opens.
