Funds raised through the Cold Turkey Plunge directly support the mission of Waterville Valley Adaptive Sports: creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to experience the freedom, confidence, independence, and joy that come through outdoor recreation and sport.

Since 1991 WVAS has been providing adaptive ski and snowboard opportunities to people with disabilities of all ages, Veterans, from near and afar, helping thousands of individuals enjoy a New England skiing opportunity. Most recently, WVAS has undertaken a massive expansion- offering year-round programming to individuals with disabilities. With a fleet of 19 bikes, including adaptive bikes of all styles, WVAS has, in our first summer season, served more than 70 athletes, their families and friends, with more than 300 biking sessions. Our group has ridden thousands of miles, through sing-a-longs, sunshine, rain, rail trail rides and more. The spirit of riding a bike has truly been infectious.
