Expeditions to Challenge the Mind as well as the Body
World T.E.A.M. Sports‘ inspiring Soldiers to the Summit expeditions bring together wounded warriors and able bodied climbers, skiers, hikers and mountaineers on outdoor adventures worldwide. These expeditions include a variety of outdoor sporting activities, including technical climbs of high mountain peaks and snow sports such as skiing and snowboarding.
Partnering with Utah’s Snowbird Resort, American Airlines and Wasatch Adaptive Sports, World T.E.A.M. Sports will introduce 15 wounded warriors to winter sports in the Soldiers to the Summit at Snowbird event. The February 27-March 1, 2012 event at Snowbird Resort, in the Wasatch Mountains southeast of Salt Lake City, will provide an opportunity for wounded warriors to team with skilled instructors to learn and experience winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling.
In mid-October 2010, participants of World T.E.A.M. Sports‘ Soldiers to the Summit Nepal expedition successfully ascended Lobuche East, the ice-and-snow covered 20,075 foot high peak near Mount Everest in Nepal. The expedition was documented in two commercial films, Recon: Conquering the Climb by The Pentagon Channel (March, 2011), and High Ground, by Stone Circle Pictures and Serac Adventure Films (February, 2012).
