Each winter "Special Love," an organization
which serves teens and young adults who have
survived cancer, brings campers together for a
Winter Weekend to go skiing or riding at Bryce
Ski Resort. For the past three years, Mark
Andrews, Director of Massanutten Adaptive
Snow Sports has volunteered to provide
instruction and support to the three-track skiers
who attend this special winter weekend.
According to Andrews, "For some of the young
people who attend this once-a-year event, it is
the only time they get to enjoy the many
benefits of being on the slopes -- skiing or
riding. The emphasis of the Special Love
Winter Weekend is different than what takes
place at most programs. It is an important event
for all who attend -- a time to make new friends
and to rekindle friendships from the years past.
Three-tracking, and just spending time
socializing with the teens is something I look
forward to. The Special Love Winter Weekend
is one of the highlights of my winter for for the
past several years."
