Why Ukrainian war veteran amputees are coming to an Oregon ski resort

A group of Ukrainian veteran amputees are spending two weeks in Oregon learning a form of adaptive skiing for people with one leg, with an organization that works to make sports more accessible to people with disabilities. The goal is to help improve the veterans’ physical and mental health and teach Ukrainian ski coaches how to use adaptive ski equipment, so they can bring that knowledge back home to the war-torn country’s thousands of amputees. • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=oregoniannews • Get the latest news and more at The Oregonian/OregonLive: http://www.oregonlive.com/ • Subscribe to The Oregonian/OregonLive: https://www.oregonlive.com/subscribe/ • Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoregonian?lang=en • Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoregonian/ • Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theoregonian/ • Follow us on X: https://x.com/Oregonian • Subscribe to our newsletters: https://link.oregonlive.com/join/6fk/signup • Listen to our podcasts: https://www.oregonlive.com/podcasts/
