About Us | Who We Are
The Outdoors for All Foundation began in 1978 with fifteen children with disabilities learning to downhill ski at The Summit at Snoqualmie. In the following year, after a successful first season, the program was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization known as the Ski for All Foundation.
Because of its history, Outdoors for All may best be known for winter season instruction in sports like snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country and downhill skiing. Besides these snow-based activities, Outdoors for All also provides instruction and outdoor activities including cycling, hiking, kayaking, day camps, water skiing, rock-climbing, camping, and customized group events.
Outdoors for All is a customer driven organization where each year more than 2,400 children and adults with disabilities exercise their abilities thanks to the training and support of more than 700 volunteers. Watch the video below created by The Summit at Snoqualmie talking about our history.
