Biographical
Sketch
The United States Deaf Skiers
Association was established in March 1968 at Park City, Utah, when they
had the first biennial National Ski Convention for the Deaf. They had 34
deaf skiers from all over United States and some from Canada. In 1970,
they had 125 skiers at Snowmass at Aspen, Colorado. An official
representative for the United States Ski Association came there and had
learned a lot about deaf skier’s ability to ski and their activities. As a
result of this experience, the USSA has a USSA Ski Week program every
year. In March 1972, they had 240 deaf skiers attend the third biennial
convention in New Hampshire. They had the big National Ski Championships
for the Deaf in the past conventions. The latter was one of the most
thrilling events for everyone.

Skiers Association is extremely broad, covering a wide range of subjects.
