PROUD SUPPORTER OF VERMONT ADAPTIVE SKIVERMONT.COM
In 2012 at just 21, Martha Stewart (yes, the Martha Stewart)
awarded Emily Cioffi with top honors in the “Quest for
the Best” national birthday cake contest on NBC’s Today
Show. “Someone I made a cake for submitted my cake,”
said Cioffi. “They narrowed it down to six of us and my
biggest fear was that the audience would think I was
picked because of my disability so I stayed behind the
table when we were live. I didn’t want the judgement.”
When Martha Stewart tasted a slice of Emily’s cake, she
pronounced her the winner.
Today, Emily’s passion for skiing has somewhat replaced
her love for baking. “I’m skiing all the time and skiing
kind of kyboshed the whole cake thing,” she said. She
has always had a love for racing and teaching skiing and
could never get enough time on the mountain. After an
injury (she was born with defective hips, has had multiple
surgeries and now uses crutches to assist her in walking)
she didn’t think she’d come back to skiing because of
her hips. But after a bit of research she learned about
Vermont Adaptive and the possibility of using a mono
ski to ski. “I showed up for my first day of skiing and
was the most excited person on the earth,” she said.
“Norm [Staunton] was there and said, ‘You are an athlete.
You have a core. You have everything you need. We’re
just going to go.’ I knew what a fall line was and how a
ski functions. So, we fitted me into the bucket and mono
ski and took off. He pushed me up the hill and told me
to go straight down, and I actually made two turns and
from day one I was really strong.”
After a crash where she dislocated her elbow, Emily
struggled a bit for a few years using the mono ski. But
finally healed, she came back with a vengeance (although
she had more deficits in her legs). Norm said, “You’re
losing things but skiing’s not going to change and you’re
always going to have skiing.” With more time on the
hill, her ability improved to the point where she was an
independent mono skier—someone who could get down
the hill and on the lift on her own. She attended a race
camp and was named a recipient of a scholarship from
the High Fives Foundation to attend the Paralympic
Nationals at Loon Mountain. “I met people and networked,
learned by watching others and analyzed,” she said. “It
kindled my fire not only to make the Paralympic Team
but also to be a bad ass mono skier, not just to stick to
open slopes but to dive into the woods and over bumps
that are bigger than me.”
Emily continues to pursue her passion for skiing while
working as a phlebotomist and IV specialist. She interned
with Vermont Adaptive at Sugarbush Resort and became
a volunteer instructor as well. She also purchased her
own mono ski. “My main goal is I want to race and be
on the Paralympic Team but my end goal is to ski the
bumps and trees and all the crazy stuff people ski. It
means more to me to be an extremely technical skier
that can go anywhere.”
And she still bakes a mean cake.

Five months into my second deployment to Kunar
Provence, Afghanistan (Aug. 2011) my unit was in a
direct engagement with Taliban fighters. During this
fight, I was in close contact to a blast that caused a
cervical spine injury and a TBI (traumatic brain injury).
I had the opportunity to be sent home but decided to
stay in the country with my guys to do my part to bring
them back home. Once I returned
home, I attempted to recover and
heal to be able to deploy again the
following year. My injuries were
worse than I had thought and were
irreversible. During this recovery
process, I had to accept the fact that
I could no longer be a Soldier. I fell
into a rut and had lost the sense of
purpose and pride that I once had
for myself.
In February 2015 I was medically retired from the US
Army and sent on my way, without really knowing what
the future held for me. Since then I have been in a state
of struggle trying to find my new path and purpose
in life. The following Fall I was linked up with a fellow
paratrooper turned Veteran’s Administration employee.
He introduced me to the veterans’ program with Vermont
Adaptive. That first season we did not
have the best winter, but I was able to
get up on the slopes about 10 times.
Then that summer I went on a few
hikes, kayaked, bowled, and grew a
bond to this wonderful program.
This past winter I attended the Veteran
retreat in Killington, and during that
time, I felt like I had to be a part of this
program and give back to it what I had

THIS PAST WINTER I ATTENDED THE VETERAN
RETREAT IN KILLINGTON, AND DURING THAT
TIME, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO BE A PART OF THIS
PROGRAM AND GIVE BACK TO IT WHAT I HAD
THOUGHT IT HAD GIVEN TO ME, NOT KNOW-
ING THAT I WOULD BENEFIT IMMENSELY ON
A SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL LEVEL.
Misha climbing with Vermont Adaptive
thought it had given to me, not knowing that I would
benefit immensely on a spiritual, physical and emotional
level. Kelly Walsh, the program coordinator for Bolton
Valley, allowed me to become an intern with Vermont
Adaptive this past year. By her doing this and seeing
something in me that I had thought I had lost was the
start to the best winter of my life.
Each athlete I worked with has had a special spot in my
heart, and I have a special memory of how they have
helped improve my life for the better. These athletes
that I have worked with are strong and brave, and the
joy that I can see that they get as they improve their
abilities has helped me so, so much.
There is one Vietnam Veteran who I’ve looked at this
season as a mentor. We have had some deep talks, and
he and his wife have helped me look toward the future.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that Vermont
Adaptive, the staff, interns, volunteers, and athletes
have allowed me to be a part of. Last winter forever
changed who I am for the better, as
a person and father.

VERMONT ADAPTIVE offers ONE OF THE FIRST
adaptive MOUNTAIN BIKE PROGRAMS IN NEW ENGLAND
Vermont Adaptive’s Mountain Bike Program, one of the first adaptive mountain bike programs
in New England, provides adaptive mountain bikes, two-wheeled mountain bikes and road bikes
to athletes of all abilities during open enrollment dates and special outings.
“Vermont Adaptive has really changed the game on the
East Coast,” said athlete Greg Durso. “Their new adaptive
mountain bike series adds another great adventure to
their already stellar set of programs. As an avid adventurist,
after my injury, mountain biking was one of those things
I really thought I might never do again. Especially since
the bikes are few and far between to find and have access
to. Now that this is available on the East Coast I couldn’t
wait to try, it totally exceeded my expectations.”
Adaptive mountain bikes are available for participants
on a first-come, reservations-based system. These highly
adjustable bikes are ideal for individuals with Spinal Cord
Injuries, Amputations or Limb Differences, or Balance
and Motor Skill Disabilities.
In 2017, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs awarded
Vermont Adaptive grant monies to help purchase 10,
two-wheeled mountain bikes and 10 bicycles for use on
the recreation paths. These bikes allow participants who
don’t need to use an adaptive bike to get outside, exercise
and socialize with others, to enjoy Vermont alongside
their peers with physical disabilities.
The adaptive mountain bike program offers three different
types of mountain bikes from ReActive Adaptations;
The Nuke, The Bomber and The Stinger. These custom
hand cycles are crafted in the mountains of Crested Butte,
Colo. Made specifically for rocky terrain, these unique
hand cycles are designed for adaptive riders to cruise
down the trails smoothly.
“This opened up a whole new door of adrenaline and
sport for me to pursue,” said Durso. “Olivia and her crew
were able to push my boundaries and take me to some
great off road trails and were always there if I needed
help. This made a huge impact on my summer and my
life, I couldn’t stop smiling. There is nothing better than
sharing these new moments and experiences with great
people and getting yourself doing things you might never
thought you could. I can’t wait to come up more to use
the bikes and more importantly have fun with
Vermont Adaptive.”

the activities from the whole week of C.O.R.E. Connec-

C.O.R.E. CONNECTIONS IS A MULTI-DAY
WELLNESS RETREAT THAT EMPHASIZES
whole body health AND IS OPEN TO
ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
This program includes an initial
individualized lifestyle analysis
and moves on to personalized goal
setting, nutrition, fitness, and mind-
fulness. There is emphasis on
exploration and engagement that
includes farm to table field trips,
cooking, fitness modalities, creative
arts and music, traditional Vermont Adaptive adventures
such as paddling, cycling, or skiing, snowboarding
and snowshoeing, and always integrates daily adaptive
yoga and holistic approaches such as guided breathing
exercises. These retreats are customizable for any time
of the year, at a variety of locations, for large or
small groups.
The program fosters the development of skills
transferable to several areas of a participant’s life, the
development of leadership skills, collaboration as a
member of a team, and personal growth all while learning
about environmental stewardship and safety preparedness
and awareness in the outdoors. Our goal is to provide
interactive activities that support Leave No Trace ethics,
water conservation, plant and animal identification,
and techniques for environmental protection. We even
cover relevant topics such as planning and preparedness
for trips and nutrition.
Adapted front country experiences are
single or multi day (less intimidating)
experiences that are easy to get to—
accessible lakes, streams and trails.
They are great for a commuting
classroom, too.

VERMONT ADAPTIVE JUNIOR VOLUNTEERS:
MICHAEL RYAN TAYLOR –
FIND YOUR passion. SHARE YOUR PASSION.
Michael Taylor, 17, and his brother, Ryan, 15, have a pretty cool mom and one of her biggest
mantras to her sons has stuck. Life is all about finding your passion and sharing your passion,
she would say. That phrase and variations of it were ingrained in the minds of these two
Holliston, Mass. students from a young age.
“In this case, skiing is our passion,” said Ryan, “and sharing
that same enjoyment that we get out of it.”
Michael and Ryan began volunteering with Vermont
Adaptive at a young age (now, junior volunteers must
be at least 16-years-old to volunteer) when their dad,
David, was volunteering,
watching and learning. “I saw
the program work in the old
space here at Pico and also my
fifth-grade teacher had a
daughter who was a Paralympian,”
Michael said. “I was a shadow,
but I still got the same feeling
of helping people. Now I get
to do more. I’m a strong skier
and a stronger person. Tom
often pairs us up with kids our
age, not so much for instruction but more for just skiing
around, laughing and talking on the chair lift.”
For Ryan, he decided to volunteer, well, because his older
brother was doing it and it looked fun. “Now I feel I’m
helping more and that’s really fun, too,” Ryan said.
Both boys talk about their volunteering with Vermont
Adaptive in school and to their friends, too, explaining
how they help different people, which helps raise aware-
ness that everything’s obtainable and nothing’s impossible.
“Once the kids are out there sometimes they start to lose
focus,” Michael said. “After two runs on Bonanza they
get tired and fall on the snow so we just make snow
angels or come in to the quiet room to take a break and
regain focus. The most challenging part is coming in for
lunch after a great morning and no one wants to stop…
but we all get hungry after a while!”
Being on a bi-ski lesson is Ryan’s
favorite type of lesson. “It’s so
cool that anyone can really do
anything and being paralyzed
won’t stop them.” But both boys
really enjoy any type of lesson
they’re given. “We’re wherever
Tom needs us—once you’re
on the mountain it all
blends together.”
Vermont Adaptive relies on more
than 400 highly trained volunteer instructors for lessons
and outings—volunteers like Michael and Ryan—who are
simply looking to share their passion for sports with others.
“Vermont Adaptive is an organization that helps people
with disabilities learn to ski and enjoy the mountain,
having a great time while staying safe and having fun,”
said Michael. “Nothing is impossible here.”
Volunteer orientation begins in November. For a

application, visit www.vermontadaptive.org.

Go for it.(We’ve got the landing.)
When Mike Murphy returned to his
home mountain of Sugarbush Resort
in 2008 to celebrate the resort’s 50th
anniversary, a simple four-day trip
turned into a four-week stay—and
then some. During that period when
he was “visiting,” he discovered the
resort’s Cabin Cat Adventures—one
of the first cat adventures to be offered in the Northeast.
And learned of a beautiful way to find first tracks at the
crack of dawn.
“When I was home, I spoke up and said I would drive
that cat, knowing that it would be an excuse to come
back and ski more,” said Mike, who grew up at Sugarbush
while his dad maintained the role of general manager.
“Now I’ve had a lot of skiing in the past seven years or so.”
Mike’s journey back to Sugarbush was simply the
next step of how he would leave his mark on the
resort community. His deep roots with Sugarbush
intertwine with Vermont Adaptive’s history and the
organization’s migration to the Valley—long before he
became the man in the cat.
As an amputee due to a motorcycle accident in 1977,
Mike went on to not only teach himself to ski (there
weren’t any programs for people with disabilities back
then) but to also ski for the US Team at the 1982 World
Championships, earning a silver medal in Slalom in
Switzerland. “When I returned back East, I ended up
at Ascutney Mountain to hang out with the folks down
there, met some people and became more involved in
Vermont Adaptive. We talked about getting something
started at Sugarbush.” (Vermont Adaptive originated at
Ascutney Mountain and moved to its current state
headquarters at Pico Mountain in 1999.)
Because of his connections at Sugarbush, over the course
of the next few years, he approached members of the
management team to see if they would be interested in
bringing an adaptive ski program to the mountain. He
went on to find volunteers, help get the word out and
be a liaison between Vermont Adaptive and the resort.
Eventually a program coordinator was hired and the
program was sound enough that Mike stepped back.
And Vermont Adaptive officially had its second winter
home in Vermont in 1991.
“One of my good friends was an assistant general
manager and he said to me one day, ‘Mike, you did your
job. You introduced everybody to each other.’ I thought
about that and stepped back and let go,” he said.
Today, the man in the cat drives guests to the top of
the mountain for sunset groomer rides, or to dinner to
Allyn’s Lodge for a chef prepared dinner and an option
to ski down after dinner in the dark. But the bulk of his
time is spent taking up to 12 passengers in the Lincoln
Limo to experience pristine, deep powder or untouched
corduroy for first tracks before the mountain opens to
the public in the morning. “We do laps on North Lynx
before the lift opens after grooming or on a powder day,”
he said. Most groups get three or more runs, depending
on the group and the speed and tour taken.
“I’m thrilled to death and tickled pink that Vermont
Adaptive has been as successful as it has with the
program,” Mike said. “I get a good feeling when I see
someone out there with the volunteers.”

director, at managingdirector@vermontadaptive.org.

MAKE THE WORK OF
IN PERPETUITY…
We are thrilled to announce a partnership with the
Vermont Community Foundation to create and manage
a permanent endowment for the benefit of Vermont
Adaptive Ski and Sports. Now donors can make a gift
that will be invested and overseen by the Vermont
Community Foundation for the exclusive benefit
of Vermont Adaptive and the people we serve.
There are many ways to support this effort. Some, like
Mike and Maggie (see adjoining story), have made a gift
in honor of someone—a legacy gift. Others have made
a gift in their lifetime to help begin the fund. Other
supporters are making provisions in their wills or trust
documents to leave a percentage of their estate, or a
fixed dollar amount, or “the residual” after all other
bequests have been made, to the Vermont Community
Foundation for the benefit of the Vermont Adaptive
Endowment Fund.
Others are exploring ways of making a gift that will
pay them income for their lifetimes, with the money
eventually passing to the Vermont
Adaptive Endowment Fund. These
kinds of life-income gifts – called
Charitable Gift Annuities and
Charitable Remainder Trusts – can
provide significant tax benefits, as
well as lifetime income. They are
particularly attractive when donors
use assets that have grown in value,
such as stock or real estate, to fund
the gift.
As we embark on the $4,000,000
second and third phases of our Home
Sweet Home Capital Campaign that includes permanent
homes at Sugarbush Resort and on the Burlington Waterfront,
the Board of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports has
included in that total an ambitious $2,000,000 goal for
the eventual size of the endowment. An endowment
at that level will help ensure that the work of Vermont
Adaptive will continue for decades to come. Building an
endowment of that size won’t happen overnight, but we
are confident that once our supporters begin to name
the Vermont Adaptive Endowment Fund in their estate
plans and take advantage of life-income opportunities,
the fund will grow enormously.
Two of our greatest limitations to providing adaptive
sports and recreation to EVERY body are our lack of
physical spaces and having a healthy endowment to
sustain us in the future. With the endowment in place,
we can be assured that Vermont Adaptive will continue
to share the passion of sports and recreation with all
Vermonters on into the future.
For more information about being a lead donor to the
Home Sweet Home Campaign and the Endowment,
please contact Erin Fernandez, Executive Director, at
802.786.4991 ext. 21 or director@vermontadaptive.org.
IN SOMEONE’S
memory…
A year ago, Mike H. Burke (longtime
Vermont Adaptive volunteer) and his
daughter, Maggie (Vermont Adaptive’s
managing director), lost Ellen, a wife
and mother dedicated to caring for
others—whether it was her children,
extended family, as a guardian-ad-litem,
or simply helping a friend in need
with a project. Through her encourage-
ment, Mike and Maggie became a part of Vermont
Adaptive in many ways—as volunteer, intern, staff
member, friend, advocate, and now donors.
VERMONT ADAPTIVE possible
“I thought she would live forever,” said Mike, about his
wife who lost her battle with Dementia at an early age
of 68. “Now making a difference in her memory is pretty
exciting, knowing that there is a chance to do what little
we’re able to do—the fact that she can continue to do
public service is a nice thing. Everyone who has ever been
on a lesson with one of our participants or helped out
at a fundraiser understands what it means to make a
difference in someone’s life. If they’re like me, they’ve
never thought about how to make sure the important
work continues.”
Maggie said that when her mom was diagnosed with
Dementia, as a family they had to do a lot of planning
like navigating the health care system, the different
options of different doctors and figuring out plans for
living accommodations from living with family to
eventually moving to an assisted living facility.
“This also included meeting with professionals to come
up with a financial plan as we moved forward and con-
sidered end of life wishes,” Maggie said. “While Mom’s
passing wasn’t expected, we had the peace of mind that
we had a plan in place and understood what her wishes
were.”
During a sad time, talking about how their family could
make a difference in memory of Ellen helped. In Ellen’s
obituary, the family asked people to donate to the library
where Ellen volunteered in lieu of flowers. For anyone
who reached out to the family asking what they could
do to help, Maggie and Mike asked that they
simply do a random act of kindness in the
community in memory of Ellen. And lastly,
they decided to make an initial gift to Vermont
Adaptive’s Home Sweet Home Capital
Campaign (which includes a new home at
Sugarbush Resort) in memory of her.
“The gift we made, while significant to us, we know is
just a ‘drop in the bucket’ of the overall project,” Maggie
said. “We made the gift without being concerned of a
name on a wall or plaque, but it is helpful that the whole
mountain is named Mt. Ellen. That is naming rights
enough!”
As they continue to move forward and reflect on the one
year anniversary of Ellen’s passing, Mike and Maggie are
excited to work toward a dream that will ultimately make
a difference in the lives of others in Ellen’s memory.
“After what Ellen went through in her last years, it is very
important to us that she be remembered for who she was
for 95 percent of her life,” Mike said. “There is no better
way to do that than to help build a facility that will be
there for one hundred years. We know from Pico* that
participants and families can better relax and prepare for
their day in the new building. Having seen how lessons
get started at all three resort areas, I am convinced that
participants at Pico have a great experience. Ellen would
be wildly enthusiastic about replacing the Mt. Ellen
space with a Pico-type facility. But the very last thing
she would want would be to have her name engraved
somewhere. She would insist that any money given was
to be used to make the participant experience even
more awesome.”
To make a legacy gift, contact Erin Fernandez,
Executive Director, at 802.786.4991 ext. 21,

or Maggie Burke, Managing Director, 802.786.4991 ext. 30,

*The first phases of the Home Sweet Home
Capital Campaign included the building of a new
state-of-the-art adaptive facility at Pico
Mountain, which opened in 2014.

After having now spent a year interning with Vermont
Adaptive, I am so thankful for the opportunities it
has given me to develop my interpersonal skills, my
instructional skills, for the network it has given me, and
for appreciation it has given me for the joy recreational
sports can bring every individual. Vermont Adaptive truly
is a client-centered organization that cares most about
empowering its athletes – something that I am
reminded of every day I am with this group.
Every lesson I learned something new. Each athlete had
different goals, different challenges. I learned from every-
body I interacted with: the athletes, the volunteers, the
parents, my co-interns, and my boss. Every individual
had a different way of teaching, and no one method was
better than the other. I had the chance to work with
(but in reality, learn from) people of all ages and abilities –
kids, adults, Veterans, etc.; my experience was only
enriched by having the opportunity to interact with such
a diverse array of athletes.
While I learned instructional skills, I also acquired valuable
insights into running a successful program. I was fortunate
to have a boss who is more passionate about her work
than dogs are about peanut butter. I had the best co-
interns – each who had different instructional styles and
different backgrounds. I worked with volunteers whom
had years more experience than I did, and came from
diverse backgrounds – from physical therapists to teachers
to sales representatives. From everybody, I gained a bit
of insight into why this program is so successful, and how
to make it continue to be so successful. Every day, I was
lucky to go to work. One of my favorite sights was to
come in from a morning lesson on a weekend, and see
the “office” flooded with athletes and volunteers. I was
constantly reminded of how lucky I was to be a part of
a program so full of energy and passion.
This past year has honestly been one of the best years in
terms of self-discovery for me. Thanks to this internship,
I am now hoping to pursue a Master’s Degree in
Therapeutic Recreation
post-graduation and am currently
pursuing a position within the adaptive
sports world. I am overwhelmed at the thought of my
internship coming to a close, but am excited to transition
into a volunteer role with Vermont Adaptive and to
expand on my therapeutic recreation skills. The community
built by Vermont Adaptive is absolutely amazing and
one I hope continues to empower and inspire people as
it does now.

WHAT’S YOUR DREAM FOR ADAPTIVE SPORTS?
I want adaptive sports to continue to be mainstreamed
into the professional arena of sports. For instance, the
Olympics highlighting disabled athletes is a step in the
right direction and watching more adaptive athletes
compete in typical pro and semi pro sporting events. It’s
a start but we need more.
HOW DO YOU STRETCH YOUR LIMITS?
I try to remember the participants and families that we
work with take a leap of faith with us and so I need to
bring that level of effort and commitment as well. It’s all
about motivation—how can I motivate them, which in
turn motivates me.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? Boredom.
SKI OR SNOWBOARD? Ski.
BIKE OR PADDLE? Paddle.
KELLY WALSH
PROGRAM
COORDINATOR
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I cherish outdoor recreation,
and what it does for my physical
and mental health is super helpful. I
want everyone to be able to experience that and feel
the benefit of it regardless of their abilities.
HOW DID YOU GET HERE? HOW DID YOU GET
INTO THIS? It all started in the 6th grade. A family
friend had a therapeutic horseback riding farm, and I
volunteered. I helped with the horses and immediately
fell in love with working with people with disabilities.
I volunteered all through high school and college. In
college, I completed an internship with Vermont
Adaptive and realized this is what I
wanted to do with my life because
I loved it so much. My goal was
to get more experience and
figure out a path to get into
adaptive sports. I majored
in sports management
at Rutgers University,
continued to volunteer
at various places including an adaptive sports organiza-
tion in Israel. I graduated and became a special educator.
When the Vermont Adaptive position opened up at
Bolton Valley, I knew it would be a perfect fit.
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH ON THE JOB?
People say I’m constantly laughing. I guess everything
makes me laugh—the successes and the failures. There’s
always something to giggle about. The interns and
athletes and their commentary make me laugh.
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE
ORGANIZATION? To have a permanent home in
Burlington. I see this program growing so much every
day. If we had our own autonomous space I can see how
much more we could grow and serve more athletes
and serve them better. Ultimately, I want to be able to
serve as many people as possible.
WHAT’S YOUR DREAM FOR ADAPTIVE SPORTS?
It’s really two-fold. On a smaller scale, I want adaptive
sports nationwide—not just where there are mountains
or where recreation is cherished. So that it’s the norm
in every Park and Recreation system. On a larger scale,
I want to see the level increase internationally—to grow
awareness so people can see what recreation does for
people with disabilities.
HOW DO YOU STRETCH YOUR LIMITS?
In life, it’s through physical activity—running, creating
a challenge for myself. Every year I create a new challenge
that stretches my limits. In work, I never really tell
anyone no. If we’re going to do it then we’re going to
make it work, and I stretch it that way.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
I’m afraid of elevators. I’ve never been stuck in one but
that’s my fear. I take the stairs. In work my fear is funding.
I always want to make sure we have enough to do what
we do for anyone regardless of a financial situation.
SKI OR SNOWBOARD? Ski.
BIKE OR PADDLE? Paddle.
OLIVIA JOSEPH, CTRS
PROGRAM COORDINATOR
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I’m here because I love working with
people. I love the outdoors and bringing
the two together is the perfect combination.
HOW DID YOU GET HERE? HOW DID YOU GET
INTO THIS? I started out as an English major and
realized it wasn’t where I wanted to be. I found therapeutic
recreation and loved it. In pursuing that, I landed an
internship at the Adaptive Sports Center in Crested Butte
where I met Maggie. And the rest, as they say, is history.
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH ON THE JOB?
The people I get to meet, and getting to know them at
the mountain or out on the trail, I have so many great
experiences with these people so I’m just smiling every
day—interns, athletes and volunteers—everyone seems
to feed off of each other’s happiness and excitement!
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE
ORGANIZATION? I would love a permanent home at
Sugarbush to be able to really serve anybody and every-
body who wants to get out and play. I would also love
for us to be known worldly, have a face and voice all
around the world and to be recognized as one of the
forerunners in adaptive sports.
WHAT’S YOUR DREAM FOR ADAPTIVE SPORTS?
That there are programs available everywhere so anyone
can get outside regardless of ability or ability to pay.
HOW DO YOU STRETCH YOUR LIMITS?
I like to set goals and challenge myself daily, I think it’s
important to be on the edge of your comfort zone, that’s
where you grow the most.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
Mascots. They give me the creeps.
SKI OR SNOWBOARD? Ski
BIKE OR PADDLE?
Mountain bike
TOM ALCORN
SENIOR PROGRAM
COORDINATOR
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I’ve always had a personal
connection to the ski industry,
to the people who are physically active with disabilities
or otherwise, and a connection to that philosophy. I truly
believe in the mission and philosophy for getting people
out to do physical activity and recreation. Many people
have barriers, whether it’s financial or simply the commit-
ment, but everyone should have the opportunity to
overcome those barriers.
HOW DID YOU GET HERE? HOW DID YOU
GET INTO THIS TYPE OF WORK? A few personal
connections led me to Vermont Adaptive. I had a family
member with a disability who was still very active, and
I was a caregiver for someone who had Dementia and
Alzheimer’s Disease. Both of those experiences got me
interested in the helping field and it seemed like a good fit.
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH ON THE JOB?
What makes me laugh is when someone figures out that
they can do something that they had no idea that they
could do. They’re surprised by that and the joy they get
out of that is awesome to watch. Other people’s
excitement and joy makes me laugh.
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE
ORGANIZATION? My hope is that Vermont Adaptive
is strengthened by more volunteers statewide and to build
upon our group of volunteers so that our veteran volunteers
can pass on their knowledge to the new and upcoming
generation of volunteer instructors. Our older generation
of volunteers has a lot of knowledge to impart to younger
people, and not just the techniques they use for teaching,
but so much more wisdom on a broader scale.
