[nabs-l] skiing?

[Darian Smith]

Hello Cindy,
   there are many organizations that can be of assistance to your
friend.  Discovery Blind Sports and  ABSF are two regionally based
locations that  work with interested persons to  downhill ski. I am
not expert (nor do I play one on T.V.), but   aside from doing a
search for such locations on the internet or subscribing  to the
sports and recreation list, I would suggest  the United states
association of Blind Athletes.  They are rather  good at connecting
you  with  oppertunities to be  athleticly active.   their site is
www.usaba.org.  Also, for a person to contact, I would contact Mark
Lucas at mlucas at usaba.org.
 Hope this proves helpful,
  Darian
