• ABSF was founded in 1971 and is a non-profit tax exempt (501-C3) National Organization chartered in the State of Illinois. The purpose of ABSF is to provide an educational Skiing program that is open to any blind or visually impaired person in the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.

ABSF helps the blind to focus on what they can do ... not on what they can't see. This knowledge and confidence gives them some of the tools they need to successfully face challenges in other aspects of their lives.
