We encourage you to review this full page prior to booking and refer back as you prepare for your program. Information pertains to all participants.

TASP proudly operates an intentionally individualized, smaller adaptive sports program. This model allows us to provide specialized instruction and experiences for each participant.

We encourage participants and their families to book as early as possible. At minimum, plan to book at least three weeks prior to summer programs and eight weeks prior to winter programs. Program spots are on a first-come, first-serve basis and fill up quickly. Last-minute requests or adjustments cannot always be granted.

On occasion, program locations may change due to variable mountain conditions or accessibility needs.

Summer registration opens in May. Winter registration opens in early November. To register, please first check out our Adventures tab for Summer, Winter or Military programs.

Health

Our goal is to keep everyone healthy and safe during their adventure.

If you are feeling unwell, please do not come to a program. If you feel unwell during your day, go home immediately.

If you have a condition or general request for stricter precautions, please make that request during your booking.

Please read our Illness Policy and Health Guidelines for more information and specific illness procedures.

Safety

Our programs allow participants to choose to strive toward new heights and take on challenges.

We ask that all participants make the best decisions for themselves and personally take responsibility for those actions. We expect all participants, family members, and caregivers to ask questions if policies or instructions are ever unclear.

All programs through TASP and partnering providers pose inherent, natural, man-made, and specialized equipment risks that may result in injury or in rare cases, may be fatal. If you are opposed to an element of an activity, we ask you not to participate.

All participants must sign the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program/Move United Warning Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability & Indemnification Agreement.

Before a program, all participants, including participating family members, friends, and caregivers, should also review our Risk Management page as well as be aware of the Protection Handbook and Protection Reporting Form.

If you do not call nor do you show up for your scheduled lesson, you will automatically be charged the full lesson amount the day of your scheduled lesson.

TASP charges a seasonal, one-time, truly nonrefundable $10 registration fee.
