ESFL NAC Adaptive Ski Experience

ESFL will be taking ELEVEN members from our community to the National Ability Center Ranch in Park City, UT, March 30-April 3, 2026. Our group consists of 6 individuals living with quadreuple limb loss and 5 individuals living with bilateral upper limb loss/difference. We are really looking forward to a fun few days of adaptive ski/snowboard opportunities, along with teambuilding activities like Yoga, Pickleball and Equine Assisted Learning at the NAC Ranch.

This experience has been made possible through generous grant from the National Ability Center along with additional support from the Hanger Foundation.

Are you new to the Limb Difference/Amputee community?

Hi, I am Mary Jane "MJ" Dillard and when I became a quad amputee, I realized losing limbs reshapes far more than a body — it rewires the entire map of daily life. In the early days of my new reality as a quad amputee, I found myself caught between two worlds: the one I used to know and the one I hadn’t yet learned to navigate. What surprised me most wasn’t the difficulty — it was the silence. No handbook. No clear path. Just scattered lifelines waiting to be found. I would like to break that silence for those new to this environment

Each month, I’ll spotlight all the things ESFL has to offer, organizations, people, tools, and truths I discover along the way. ESFL offers resources that don’t just help you survive, but help you regain momentum, identity, and community. If you’re newly amputated, born with limb difference, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the realities behind the prosthetics and courage-filled headlines, you’re in the right place.

Let’s pull back the curtain together — and make sure no one has to rebuild their life in the dark. Check out the You Tube Videos that demonstrate how other people like you are doing daily tasks. You can find a link to these on the ESFL Website under Resources>Hands Free Resources.>You Tube Tips and Topics to Explore. Have Fun!
