STARS Mountain Challenge, Steamboat Springs
The STARS Mountain Challenge is a community celebration that allows STARS to offer life-changing programs that promote independence, self-esteem, and a healthy lifestyle for people with disabilities. At the STARS Mountain Challenge, we embrace inclusiveness and what we can do, not what we can’t do. We celebrate the ‘power of possible’, the freedom of independence, and the exhilaration that comes from recreating outside! All registered ‘Full-Challenge’ and ‘Mini-Challenge’ participants will be entered in drawing to win a pair of custom Grass Sticks® ski poles!*
