The image presents a certificate on a wooden surface. The background features a scenic snowy landscape with a faded face of an elderly man. The text "The Herb Bradley Snowsports Festival" is prominently displayed at the top, followed by "VISAS CERTIFICATE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT" in bold. The certificate is awarded to Que Banh, with details stating the event was held at Mount Washington, Courtenay, British Columbia, in January 2025. A decorative gold seal, marked "OFFICIAL SEAL of EXCELLENCE," is located on the right, and the bottom of the certificate reads "Congratulations!" in bright green.

Slideshow of photos from my trip for Nordic #sitski training with #VancouverIsland #AdaptiveSnowsports Association. It was an excellent experience learning how to #XCountrySki with the Nordic sitski. It's different gear than the alpine sitski that I learned with, doing downhill skiing in 2020. Much more difficult on upper core, arms & shoulders.

I'm exhausted and happy.

In a snowy landscape, I am sitting in a specialized sitski, smiling with two adults who ski beside her. The mountains and trees create a scenic backdrop under a partly cloudy sky, suggesting a clear, bright day. The individuals are dressed warmly and appear to be enjoying their time together in the winter setting.

Two girlfriends with #snowshoes on & one with backcountry skis. They went exploring snowshoeing trails while I did my 3rd Nordic #Sitski training day.

Coordinators/instructors with #VancouverIsland #AdaptiveSnowsports Association want to hire a videographer to come do a Nordic sitski promo videos & have me be a new spokeswoman for Nordic sitski sport & demo the new sitski coming from Switzerland soon.

Four individuals pose together on a snowy slope, dressed in winter sports gear. Me, seated in a sitski, wears a colorful jacket and sunglasses. The three standing beside her are holding ski poles and wearing ski & snowshoeing gear. The backdrop features trees and a wooden building.

Covered 5km of trails on day 2 - around Paradise Meadows loops.
I'm helping to train new volunteers who have recently joined #VancouverIsland #AdaptiveSnowsports Association, while also learning Nordic sitski.
Tuckered out.

I'm wearing sunglasses and a colorful, patterned winter jacket, sitting in a specialized adaptive ski sled. Smiling. The snowy landscape features evergreen trees and a snowy mountain in the background, indicating a winter setting.

Me, wearing sunglasses and a colorful, patterned winter jacket, is sitting in a specialized adaptive ski sled. They are smiling and making a peace sign with one hand while holding onto a ski pole with the other. The snowy landscape features evergreen trees and a snowy mountain in the background, indicating a winter setting.

Four people are enjoying a day of cross-country skiing in a snowy landscape. Two individuals stand with ski poles, while I'm on a sitski wearing colorful winter clothing. The fourth person, who is taking a selfie, is wearing sunglasses and athletic gear. Pine trees fill the background under a clear blue sky.

After saving up for 4 months - I've confirmed my #cabin booking for my adaptive snowsports training trip in early January. It's in a forested rural area in #CourtenayBC & only 15 minutes from shuttle bus meet spot. The hottub, firepit & indoor bathtub will be much appreciated after all the physically active days up on Mt. Washington. I'm bringing one friend as my personal assistant.
I'm a #ParaAthlete with the #VancouverIsland #AdaptiveSnowsports Association & Canadian Adaptive Snowsports Association for #PeopleWithDisabilities.
My first adaptive snowsports trip was in 2020 - I tried out sitski, adaptive snowboarding & adaptive outrigger skiing on that trip. 2025 is my return to their program. I'm taking part in the annual Herb Bradley Snowsports Festival & entering one sitski race ✌️ I'll be trying out their adaptive Nordic skiing lessons for the first time too.

A wooden cabin at dusk, featuring a sloped roof and large windows reflecting the interior lights. The foreground shows a stone patio with a fire pit at the center, surrounded by two slatted wooden chairs angled outwards. A hot tub with wooden panels is positioned on the left. The background includes a subtle silhouette of trees, and string lights are strung overhead, enhancing the ambiance with a soft, warm glow.

Can't go to #VISSA again til next #Winter - too many things happening in January that can't be rebooked. I'm into 4 track #adaptive #skiing & looking to get into #training for #sitski #racing when returning to the #AdaptiveSnowSports program. There's several locations in #BritishColumbia that offer snowsports training & learning programs for #disabled folks. I'm with the #VancouverIsland one, which runs out of #MtWashington & love the people who run it.
