Our Vision
We believe the freedom and exhilaration of outdoor challenges changes lives. No one should be left behind simply because of a disability!
Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra is a volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families by:
DSES has adaptive equipment to fulfill everyone's winter and summer dreams: gliding down a snow-covered mountainside, cruising on a cycle or skimming over a placid lake.
Activities are customized to each individual; one-on-one or in a group. Our goal is for everyone to be active year round!
DSES makes the outdoors accessible and affordable!!

Successful Slide-A-Thon Fundraiser
Thank you to all those who supported sliding for a cause! The money from this fundraiser allows us to say "YES" to everyone and it increases the quality of our program as a whole!
We wrapped up the season in style with our annual Slide-A-Thon - a day of fundraising and on-hill activities. This year's event was well attended and a successful fundraiser! Based out of the Yodler, participants relaxed in the spring weather after the day's activities, and enjoyed the Jeffrey James Band during the après party. A huge thanks for all those who came out to support sliding for a cause. The teams came decked out for the fun with the Mammoth Lakes Womens Club Team Beach Bums winning best costume, and our very own volunteer, Scott Corridan winning the timed race! More pictures!
2012 Springtacular was "Spectacular"
We held our annual Springtacular for all the Stars (participants) with cognitive & developmental disabilities-and a few special guests from Bishop! The participants spent four full days at beautiful Mammoth Mountain skiing, snowboarding, and enjoying a host of other exciting activities.
Springtacular is also known for its "BIG" dance where Stars and their families, instructors, and volunteers all cut-loose together on the dance floor at the Sierra Holiday Recreation Center. Thank you Lonnie and Dylan and DJ Andres! We would like to thank each of our Stars, their families, teachers, aides, instructors, and volunteers for making it another fabulous year! We owe a debt of gratitude to Mammoth Mountain and the Town of Mammoth Lakes Youth Sports Funding Grant for their tremendous support which enabled our students to reach new levels in their snow sports. Every Star at Springtacular triumphed as they challenged themselves to grow, both on and off of the slopes. More pictures!
