Mary Boy has been an adaptive sports volunteer since 2010 at Mount Snow. Mary holds PSIA Adaptive Level 1 and Alpine Level 1 certifications and is an instructor in the Mount Snow Adaptive Sports program. She was a member of the AbilityPLUS board of directors for 1 ½ years prior to becoming a member of the Mount Snow Adaptive Sports board of directors. Mary’s involvement with adaptive sports arose out her desire to seek a volunteer opportunity that blended her love of skiing with chance to learn and contribute to an organization that provides the chance for others to experience the joy and benefits of skiing and other sports. Mary, a product of a military family, grew up in Southeastern NH, attended Chatham Hall in Virginia, the University of New Hampshire (Animal Science and Microbiology) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. After completing veterinary school, Mary did an internship in large animal surgery at Cornell and a residency in large animal internal medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. After a number of years in equine practice, Mary joined the pharmaceutical industry where she has worked for over 25 years, the majority with Pfizer Inc. Mary started her career with Pfizer conducting companion animal clinical trials and for the past 17 years, she has worked in various aspects of human clinical trials. Mary lives in Mystic, CT with 2 cats, a greyhound, and her significant other of 17 years. In addition to skiing, Mary loves walking (since her knees no longer want to run), biking, boating, reading and dabbling in gardening. 

Laura and her family have been part of the ASMS community for four years.  Laura has an accounting degree from Providence College and an MBA from University of Hartford.  She has spent the majority of her career in the role of Controller for various companies.

Laura’s son Sam has been skiing with ASMS as a client and the program has been life changing for him.  It is her pleasure to assist this organization with business skills to allow the program to prosper.

Laura,  husband Andy, and twins Matt and Sam reside in South Windsor, CT.  Laura spends her free time snow shoeing, road cycling, playing tennis and pickleball, and sitting in a beach chair!

My name is David Lieberman. I am currently on the board of Adaptive Sports at Mount Snow (Formerly AbilityPlus). I started skiing at Mount Snow in the adaptive program when I was 5 years old. I have become an intermediate-advanced skier. In 2014, I began volunteering at the program and I currently do every winter. Skiing has become a passion of mine and volunteering at the program makes me feel great. When I work hard I try to pass this passion on to the students I work with. Being on the board would give me the opportunity to help the program grow. I know what it is like to be a student in the program and I know what it is like to be a volunteer so I have a lot of experience. I hope we continue to grow and raise more and more money during our annual fundraiser every February, the Winterfest Fundraiser. Also, I enjoy doing Kids of Courage in which we help students who are severely ill. Originally from Old Bethpage, NY. I was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum Disorder in January of 2002. I graduated from The College Experience Program at The College of Saint Rose  in partnership with Living Resources in May of 2018. In the fall of 2018, I  became the 1st alumni in the program to become a staff member of the program and I continue to work there today. In my spare time, I enjoy anything outdoors from skiing  to hiking and golf and mountain biking.

Betsy Schuler is a member of the Class of 2020 at the Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall in Milford, CT. She was inspired to become an adaptive sports volunteer after participating in a year-long peer mentoring program in the 5th grade where she was paired with a student with Cerebral Palsy. The two would meet weekly to play board games, take walks around their school and spend time together during recess. The next winter, Betsy became a volunteer with AbilityPlus at Mount Snow. Her passion continued to grow each year spending more and more time each subsequent winter with the organization. She loves working with new and returning students each year and looks forward to the annual Ski-a-thon fundraiser every February. Last winter she joined the AbilityPlus Special Olympics team as a junior coach and enjoyed her additional commitment to the Mount Snow adaptive community. Betsy resides in Milford, CT with her parents (Christine & John) and younger brother (Christopher). She has been an active member of the Amity Regional Aquatic Club since the 4th grade and is a member of the Lauralton Hall swim team. She is also a member of the Student Council, Spanish Club and Mock Trial club at her school. Betsy has volunteered the past 3 summers at Camp Happiness – a camp for children with disabilities in her hometown. She immensely enjoys working with the youngest campers each summer and making a difference in their lives. Outside of skiing and swimming, she is fond of spending time with family and friends at her family’s home in West Dover, VT. Hiking and lake activities are among her favorite activities in Vermont and New England. She is thrilled to be a board member for Mount Snow Adaptive Sports and is eager to help the organization continue to grow and promote awareness of its mission.
