TAS Core Values: Inclusive Outdoor Recreation
At TAS we believe in outdoor recreation that includes all abilities. We strive for equal access to opportunities to improve quality of life. That’s what outdoor recreation is about!
Inclusion
As members of our community, adaptive athletes should have the same access to recreation as anyone else. We believe that separate is not equal. We strive to broaden possibilities for every current and prospective participant in the Greater Teton Area.
Recreation
It’s all about fun! When we are outside connecting with our environment, learning new ways to cover ground and spending quality time with the people we care about, our lives and our health improve. Teton Adaptive is in the quality of life business.
Opportunity
Inclusivity covers all aspects of our community regardless of identity or financial standing and we strive to make it more welcoming. By providing scholarships, programming, training, and accessible equipment we expand opportunities for more inclusion in a historically inaccessible world.

Our inclusive journey started in 2005
We’ve come to a radical realization… we should not be here. In a perfect Jackson Hole there would be no need for Teton Adaptive. That’s because kids, adults and veterans with disabilities should have the same access to skiing, cycling, mountain biking, boating, hockey as everyone else. We’re going to make that happen.
In 2005 a few Jackson Hole ski instructors asked a few local philanthropists to help them purchase adaptive ski equipment for the local skiers with disabilities to use at JHMR and a model of inclusion was born.
Other adaptive programs in the USA don’t use this model. Other programs have separate facilities for people with disabilities. Here in Jackson Hole our adaptive ski programs have always been a collaboration between the nonprofit and the ski corp since day one. We call this the “Adaptive Approved” model. Adaptive Approved businesses are trained, equipped and ready to serve people with disabilities. We provide those businesses with what they need to invite people with disabilities confidently and inclusively. Equality of opportunity and accessibility.
