Alive to Thrive Day

Move. Connect. Inspire
Alive to Thrive, January 22-23, 2026

Join us Jan 22–23, 2026 at Canaan Valley Resort for Alive to Thrive — a welcoming weekend of adaptive skiing, peer connection, and practical brain-injury support.

Designed for people with traumatic brain injury, their families, rehabilitation professionals, students, and community partners, the weekend pairs accessible on-snow instruction (with Challenged Athletes of WV and WVU PT students) and fun social activities (snow-tubing, an evening film + keynote) with a one-day professional CEU conference: Pushing the Peak: Elevating Brain Injury Science and Support.
