Northern Adapted Sports Association

Mac Marcoux is one of Canada’s most decorated para-athletes. Now, after a year sidelined by injury and skiing with a new, unproven guide, he will attempt to red...efine himself as a skier by taking his racing pedigree into Whistler Blackcomb’s extreme alpine terrain. His goal is to do more than just ski lines that are impressive for a blind person, Mac wants to change the way people see adaptive athletes. To do this, he needs the support of his new guide and friend, Tristan Rodgers. If they succeed, Mac will become the world’s first blind freeskier. If they fail, his career as an athlete and his Olympic hopes may come to an end. As the pair square off against the challenges of the mountains and push their boundaries to the limit, they fight to stay healthy and inspired, all while training to earn a spot on the 2022 Olympic Team.

Good day to you one and all. Please note the following updates with regards Northern Adapted Sports Association programming for January. Wheelchair Basketball:... In light of the continuing PHO restrictions and coach availability we will be holding off restarting programming until after Family day. Hopefully the PHO update on the 5th of February will bring good news and we can return to court on the 22nd February with eased restrictions. However, if the PHO is extended further we will still look to return, masks and all for some endlines, suicides and other masked wheeled fun ;-) Rugby: Due to the unique makeup of this group we are continuing on court for this one. A reminder that we have a slight change in time 7:15 - 9:15 and we are in gym 2 for the next little bit. ParaSports Fridays: Individual athlete bookings for Para Badminton until after Family Day. Please contact me if interested. Para Ice Hockey: On hold until at least Sunday 7th February dependent on PHO restrictions Nordic sit skiing: Stay tuned for updates on this one, apparently cross country skis are the new toilet paper in this Covid world! Thanks for the patience on all this, if you need anything please give us a shout

It's skiing, but not as you know it. The Tetra Ski is an innovation like no other and has transformed the world of adaptive skiing. #ChasingGreatness, presented by the IPC & Allianz
