Ed Lucks
Ed began teaching skiing at Arapahoe Basin in 1964. Two years later, Arapahoe Basin was host to a group of Vietnam Veterans and he volunteered to teach skiing to the disabled. He moved to Aspen in 1969 and continued to teach adaptive skiing at Snowmass. For the next 26 years, he created new equipment and ski techniques for adaptive skiing and laid the groundwork for the United States Disabled Ski Team and Challenge Aspen.
