The Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports is a non-profit charitable society focused on providing nationally certified snowsports instruction to the physically or developmentally challenged.
We believe that people with adaptive needs should have an equal opportunity to participate and enjoy alpine (skiing or snowboarding) or Nordic (cross country) snowsports.
We are here to help you accent your abilities in a fun and encouraging environment.

Volunteers needed for Nautical Days!
We’re sending another call out for more volunteers for the Beer Garden at Nautical Days.
We are looking for volunteers to help with setup on Friday Aug 2, servers with their “Serve it Right” and helpers to take orders, sales, and bus tables throughout the weekend, and finally a crew for final cleanup on Tuesday Aug 5.
This is our big “off season” fundraiser and it takes all of us who are available to help make it successful.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) – 15 May 2024 at Comox Legion
The Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) is giving you notice, and inviting you, to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024, to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall Branch 160 at 1825 Comox Avenue in Comox on May 15th 2024 at 17h30. As we did not have a Spring Fling this year, the AGM will be followed by a gathering at the Beaufort Avenue Pub (downstairs) with pizza provided by the Board of Directors and a cash bar. Please RSVP so that arrangements can be made as to how much food will be needed.

Who Are We?
We are a non-profit organization focused on providing nationally certified instructors to assist physically or cognitively challenged people. We offer instruction in downhill skiing, snowboarding and cross country skiing. VISAS will provide all adaptive equipment and if you have your own, then we can help you rock it.
Our volunteer instructors are certified nationally with the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing (CADS). Many are also members of the Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance (CSIA), the Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI) and the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors (CANSI).
Our volunteer group consists of 100+ Alpine, Nordic and Snowboard instructors, all dedicated to bringing the mountain experience to people with diverse abilities.
