Disabled Military Veterans Learn Winter Sports At Veterans Affairs Clinic
Disabled military veterans and instructors prepare to snowmobile along a tract of snow on March 29, 2012 at the T-Lazy 7 Ranch near Aspen, Colorado. Volunteers had trucked in snow for the event, due to weak snowfall this spring. More than 350 U.S. military veterans are taking part in the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic held between March 25-30 in Snowmass and Aspen, Colorado. The clinic is co-sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Disabled American Veterans. It teaches winter sports with the aim to motivate veterans with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic amputations, visual impairments, and neurological problems to heal both mentally and physically.
