History

The Unrecables “Unlimited Recreational Abilities” was founded by Ron Bass in 1980 after he spent a summer working with the New Zealand Association for Disabled Skiers. His vision was to make skiing accessible to individuals throughout Southern California with disabilities. The club emerged out of a growing recognition of the need for adaptive sports programs that could provide recreational opportunities for individuals with all levels of physical and cognitive ability.

Beyond its athletic achievements, The Unrecables have had a profound impact on the community by promoting inclusivity and empowering individuals with disabilities. The club’s members, volunteers, and supporters have worked tirelessly to create a supportive environment where everyone can enjoy the thrill of outdoor activities. The story of The Unrecables is one of passion, perseverance, and the unwavering belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the freedom and exhilaration of outdoor sports.

Today, The Unrecables offers adaptive skiing (stand-up and sit-skiing) and adaptive snowboarding to individuals with a variety of challenges: physical, cognitive, visual, and hearing. They remain at the forefront of advocacy and innovation in adaptive sports, inspiring new generations to push boundaries and embrace the joy of an active lifestyle.
