Get ready to mark your calendars, because the 3rd annual “Turns & Berms” event is back! Presented by the dynamic partnership of the Kelly Brush Foundation (KBF) and Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS), This isn’t your average event; it is a celebration of outdoor recreation for individuals living with spinal cord injuries.

Kicking off at Mt Bachelor in the AM, it’s all about enjoying the slopes. Thanks to the skills of Oregon Adaptive Sports, participants get to rip around the mountain, embracing the spring skiing vibes. But wait, the action doesn’t stop there. As the sun climbs higher, we’re swapping snow for dirt as we hit the trails in the Deschutes National Forest. It’s the ultimate fusion of winter and summer thrills.

Eligibility: Individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injury who reside in the United States. Other conditions are not eligible for this program, including (but not limited to) spina bifida, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, post-polio, Guillain-Barre´ Strohl Syndrome, ALS, all other neuropathies, and all other conditions causing disability.

We welcome individuals who are Intermediate skiers and up who already own adaptive ski equipment or don’t and all levels of adaptive mtb experience who own their own adaptive mountain bike or those who don’t.
