VIBeS was incorporated into a public, all volunteer non-profit
organization on March 23, 1998; however the group had operated under the
umbrella of the Colorado Ski School for the Blind (CSSB) since
1989. After a successful relationship lasting 9 years, it was determined
that a more community oriented program would better fulfill the needs of
the blind and visually impaired in the Colorado Springs Area. The Colorado
Springs community program changed its name to Visually Impaired and Blind
Skiers of the Colorado Springs Community (VIBeS) when it became an
independent non-profit.
