Skiing. Sharing. Learning. The mission of Ski for Light is to enhance the quality of life and independence of visually or mobility-impaired adults through a program of cross-country skiing.

The 2012 Ski for Light International Week

The 37th annual Ski for Light International Week will take place from Sunday February 5 through Sunday February 12, 2012 in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. We will stay at the Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in downtown Provo, and ski at the Soldier Hollow cross-country ski area in nearby Midway, Utah. Soldier Hollow was the cross-country skiing venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Ski for Light events in 2009 and 2010 were held at this same location and we are eagerly anticipating a return visit for 2012.

If you have never before attended what many have called the experience of a lifetime, please read Information for Prospective First-Time Attendees to learn what the week is all about and how it works.

If you are a veteran of previous SFL events, please proceed to the Details of the 2012 Event, and access the easy-to-complete 2012 online application form.
