There's nothing better than the great outdoors.
I'm a blind person that likes to get out.
I don't get stopped very easily.
I do what I can to work the way around the blindness.
I can participate just like anyone else.
Whether it's fishing, canoeing, cross-country skiing, backpacking.
All year round, I love it all.
People that are blind can do a lot more than they think.
The biggest thing is people hold themselves back.
Don't get in your own way.
My name's Ron Walsh.
I'm completely blind.
Get ready for Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh and Friends.
We're out here in the Canadian North doing some training, getting ready for a huge race.
And today I'm here with my friend Ashlyn George.
We're standing in probably knee deep powder snow.
RON: All around us.
We're on a bit of a small trail and trees are all dusted with snow and there's a few little snowflakes falling.
We're do some cross-country skiing today and we're getting ready for a big race in La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
Northern Saskatchewan, there's a that is 52 kilometers and you ski 26K and then you sleep out overnight in the Canadian Arctic and then you ski back another 26K the next day.
The farthest distance I've ever done was a 20K.
I've done lots of 5Ks and lots of 10Ks, but the long distance ones, I've never done.
It's a really great way to challenge yourself both in terms of endurance with cross-country skiing, but also in terms of weathering the cold temperatures that we have here in Canada.
There's never been a blind person ever in this race.
So I sure hope that I can complete it.
Do you know how cold it gets there?
I think the temperatures, I think -58 without the wind.
So it can be an extremely harsh place!
There's definitely some scary, dangerous parts in there.
- Ya!
- And I'm looking forward to it.
Coming up here and doing a little more skiing is just going to be great for the event.
To your left two shuffles.
Yeah, that's a big one.
One more half that size.
- Okay.
Ashlyn.
- Yeah.
- When something's coming up, - Yeah - Just tell me.
Ah-- Hill.
Left.
Right.
RON: I have no problem with the big hill.
It's just a turn at the bottom.
ASHLYN: Kay.
RON: I got to know if it's left or right.
ASHLYN: Kay.
RON: I'll do the rest.
ASHLYN: Okay.
RON: Okay.
ASHLYN: Sounds good.
I got lots of incentive to get in shape.
It's a long ways, and ah-- you've got to be prepared.
I've been skiing with John McClean.
He's a skier.
He's a canoer.
He's an outdoor guy.
I'm John McClean.
I met Ron when he signed up for a canoe trip I was leading, ah-- about four / five years ago.
And, ah-- we kind of hit it off.
We get the planning done, we get the training done, and we go have fun.
RON: Being prepared for something like this is a must.
It takes a lot of preparation to go through your equipment, make sure you've got everything.
And part of the equipment is my backpack, has to have food and water and a little bit of clothes and that all prepared.
You have to be ready.
Beyond the challenge of the 52 kilometers of skiing, there's a lot of tech gear that goes along with it.
JOHN: Got some new headsets from Cardo.
Prior to this, I was just basically yelling at him.
I'm going to be guiding and Ron's going to be behind -- behind me.
And being able to communicate with him what's coming up next, but then also being able to communicate with John, whose going to be behind Ron.
I like a bit more reaction time so that if he wipes out, I don't plow into him.
So the communication is key, but also more so than just being able to hear each other.
Um-- You know, we've got to read each other.
A lot of preparation that goes into it on all fronts.
JOHN: Let's go!
RON: Okay.
JOHN: Here we are at the Legion Hall.
RON: Sunshine, cloudy?
JOHN: A little bit overcast.
ASHLYN: So we're just in the Royal Canadian Legion here.
This is our gathering place at the start of the race.
It's a pretty active, busy place.
Everybody's getting all excited to go.
Um-- Lots of chatter.
Everyone's meeting each other.
It's a really great day out today.
A little bit cloudy, but we've got warm temperatures.
There's a few snowflakes falling earlier this morning.
Just a great community center to gather before we head out on, uh--, a pretty big overnight ski trip.
The chest drops feel about the right tension there for you.
- Yeah.
SID: I'm, uh-, Sid Robinson.
I'm organizing the Saskaloppet this year, and I'm here today to greet the Kupesewin skiers who are doing a two day overnight ski, a tough ski.
I did the whole route last night by snow machine.
You got a bit of a tough trail, I'll say that.
It's not going to be easy.
When you get to the summit, it's going to be kind of chilly because all the trees are gone.
Everybody knows in 2015 the whole country burnt.
We'll start at 12:30 sharp on the ice.
So, you can be down there 5 minutes ahead of time.
RON: A little bit less.
JOHN: Kay.
Kay.
Ron, we've got to go!
JOHN: We've got to go!
RON: Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
So I think we can go through this.
Hmmmm.
Go around.
RON: Ashlyn?
Ashlyn: Yeah?
JOHN: Go Ron!
Go!
Ashlyn: No, no, no!
We'll go out the side, -- side door And we're going to go down around here.
Watch your footing.
We got all dozen of us skiers here.
Everyone's got their packs on.
Everybody's all ready.
JOHN: Kay, Ron, Step to the left and come here.
ASHLYN: There you go.
JOHN: Get your ski on.
SID: One minute to start.
ASHLYN: Okay.
(Ron breaths deeply) ASHLYN: Deep breaths.
SID: I'll give me a 15 second warning and then I'll say go.
ASHLYN: We've got this.
One more deep breath.
Sid: Go!
JOHN: Go!
(Cheering) JOHN: You good there Ron?
RON: Good.
JOHN: Track is a little blown in but just keep going and we're good.
RON: You're ready.
You're ready.
It's just-- you're just-- you can't wait to jump to the start and get going.
JOHN: Ron, a little bit left.
Left, Ron.
Keep going straight, going straight, going straight.
Little bit left.
A little bit left.
RON: I can't believe we're here.
(Ron chuckles) It's actually happening.
We're here doing it.
It's happening.
ASHLYN: The cool thing about Lac La Ronge here, is there is actually over 2000 islands on the lake.
So when you look out to the right, you see a lot of bush and trees and it-- you almost don't feel like you're on a lake 'cause you can see land everywhere.
but those are all just islands.
JOHN: So when we're guiding Ron, I like to ski behind him and um- and tell him, you know: you're in the track, you're not quite in the track, you need to go left.
you need to go right.
Your right skis is in the left track.
Half that much Ron, half that much.
There.
A little bit left.
A little bit left.
A little bit more.
They're good.
Go!
Giver.
Let him know that there's a steep hill coming whether we're going up and he's got to herringbone up the hill or snowplow down it.
And-- and let them know about obstacles to watch out for and things like that.
Okay, we've got a gentle curve to the left coming up here.
Curving a little bit left right now.
Driven to the left.
Beautiful!
Wonderful ski in the trees, spruce trees.
RON: In prep, John was, uh, saying that he should have brought a bigger saw.
He had a little saw with him and he should have brought a bigger one.
And I'm thinking: Well, John, why would you need a saw?
What's the reason for the saw?
(That was little wild.)
He said, “First aid.” If I get impaled, he got to be able to cut the tree off and get me to safety.
Fear for me is not knowing.
Caution is looking at all the options ahead of time.
You always go into the most amount of preparations possible.
Ron is are really tough guy.
He had a couple of pretty rough wipeouts today.
Hey Cardo, turn-- Oh, whoa.
What was that?!
And we'll be right back with more Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh and Friends.
I thought about doing this event for over 30 years.
I've actually raced a couple of times internationally in Norway with 500 people that were blind from all over the world.
And competed in a Ski for Light event.
And in competition, I was very inspired by some of the American skiers.
Yeah, definitely, Ski for Light is on mine and Rons bucket list.
Ski for Light is a nonprofit organization offering a weeklong annual event for visually and mobility impaired adults.
Pairing them with sighted guides for guided skiing and fostering community.
Max Nelson is a young visually impaired skier showing significant potential in Paralympic Nordic skiing, competing at World Cup events for team USA.
Marla Runyan.
Well known for track, She's the only American to compete in both Olympics and Paralympics, representing the pinnacle of visually impaired athleticism.
Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh and Friends.
John: Hang on a second.
Hang on a second.
(tapping of hands together) (Ron grunting) (another grunt) JOHN: Can you get up?
There you go.
Okay.
Get yourself collected.
ASHLYN: How are you doing?
Are you okay?
RON: Good.
RON: I just crossed my feet and I crossed my skis.
(overlapping speech) JOHN: All right, you all good?
RON: I'm good.
No more falling.
John and Ashlyn.
both have medical courses they've taken.
We have a communicator that text a satellite that can be used anywhere in the world.
If things are bad, we can hit the emergency button and somebody is going to come look for us.
RON: Oof!
Oof!
Caught a track-- JOHN: You okay?
RON: Yeah, I didn't lose nothing JOHN: Uh, just a water bottle.
I'll grab it.
RON: Okay.
ASHLYN: You're good, though?
That was okay?
RON: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ASHLYN: You almost made it.
RON: We ski got on the track.
ASHLYN: Yeah.
JOHN: Okay, stop.
Turn left, turn left!
45 degrees.
There you go.
RON: Whoa!
JOHN: Good save!
RON: Okay!
JOHN: Snow plow.
Turn those edges in.
Okay.
Good.
Just take it easy.
As slows as you-- a little bit right.
A little bit left.
RON: Whoa!
(Ron heavy breathing) JOHN: You okay?
RON: Yeah.
JOHN: Just take it easy Ron.
ASHLYN: You okay Ron?
JOHN: Take it easy.
Small steps, in control.
Remember to turn that edge.
ASHLYN: You're about halfway down the hill.
RON: They can actually continually watch us online to see where we are, what speed we're traveling, and if any emergency messages or any danger on the trail.
ASHLYN: So we just got to, uh-- the final checkpoint right before the summit.
We've skied.
I've got 24 and a half kilometers on my watch right now.
Without the training, I wouldn't have got here.
That's a long way.
(indistinct speech in background ASHLYN: It's the end of the day.
We are feeling a little bit tired, but we got the last stretch-- home stretch.
A little bit of climbing up the hill.
I think we got 150 meters of elevation to go.
JOHN: Oh, yeah, this is a long hill.
There's, uh, a little-- couple little leveling spots in the middle.
It's not all straight down.
RON: Whoa!
JOHN: Whoa, a little bit to the right.
Good!
Good!
Keep going!
Keep going!
RON: Wow!
That was scary!
There's many people out there that do many, many things that they never thought they could do, like this race myself.
So-- be careful, but don't let fear slow you down or stop ya.
ASHLYN: So we're almost at the main last push to get up to the summit.
RON: Wow!
ASHLYN: Yeah!
How are you doing?
RON: Tired.
ASHLYN: Yeah.
RON: Feeling good.
ASHLYN: Feeling good.. That's good.
JOHN: Right on!
RON: I'm feeling good.
ASHLYN: So right now, we're just sitting at the base of our last push up to get to the cabin.
So the cabin sitting on top of all of this precambrian rock.
We're surrounded by the burn area, so we got lots of those dead trees and the trunks surrounding us.
(Ron heavy breathing) RON: Well here, let's take a minute.
Let's take a minute.
JOHN: Okay.
(Ron heavy breathing) ASHLYN: It's going to feel so good to get up there.
RON: Woof-- I'm tired.
JOHN: Just about there, just about there.
We're 95% done.
Kay, Ron keep going.
A little bit right.
A bit right.
Go.
I'll tell you when.
Just take it easy.
A little bit right.
It's soft to the left.
Keep going right.
RON: Stay on the track?
JOHN: Yeah, okay go down.
Straight.
Go!
A little bit right.
Right.
Just lose some speed.
Lose some speed.
Lose some speed.
Good.
Perfect.
All right, let's go!
Last push.
ASHLYN: So it's been a cloudy day all day today.
Gray skies.
And just as we came up the summit, the skies started opening up.
We were getting pockets of blue clouds and the sun was peeking through, shining on us as we were going up the hardest part of this entire ski.
Oh!
Ron!
(laughing together) -That's so awesome.
- All right!
JOHN: Right on.
- Thanks, John.
- Thanks bud.
- No worries.
ASHLYN: How does it feel?
Good!
Chair is going to feel pretty good, too.
ASHLYN: He he he -- Yeah, definitely.
You did it though!
We made 'er.
ASHLYN: 26 kilometers.
That's unreal-- ASHLYN: Unreal!
- Wow!
300 meters of elevation over those 26 kilometers too - Right.
Probably halfway!
It thinks like-- seemed so much further and then this last little bit was kind of tough, but it was all tough.
It's a long ways.
It, uh, wore me out.
And now I'm going to need a. uh, a chair and some water and maybe a tea, hot chocolate and some stew.
ASHLYN: So I'm just shoveling the snow.
It's pretty deep.
Like it's-- I mean, it's a good three feet deep.
We're going to do three tents in a row.
I brought my tent this is a MEC winter tent.
Poles are a little bit thicker and they're kind, uh, they're more vertical so the snow kind of doesn't stay on it as much.
Go on right there.
That's the last one, I think.
RON: I got a good down filled sleeping bag and a good air mattress.
I'll be-- no problem sleeping.
This is a Thermarest.
It's an air mattress that you pretty well can't sleep on the ground without 'em.
Sleeping bag that's going to keep me as warm as can be.
For all this fresh air and cold air, man, I'm just going to sleep like a-- like a rock.
Well, I'm ready to get 'er.
We'll see you in the morning.
Good night.
And we'll be right back with more Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh and Friends.
ASHLYN: It was great to join Ron at a public event where we screened this episode and shared stories from our adventures.
This local outdoor adventure shop was a perfect venue, giving us the chance to meet some fans of the show.
Hi everyone.
I'm Ashlyn George.
So, I met Ron a few years ago now.
Probably five years ago now.
RON: Yeah, ASHLYN: yeah, he reached out to me.
I'm a lover of the outdoors as well.
And he had heard about me.
Yeah.
So when we met, we realized we had a lot in common.
The conversation came up that I could.
Maybe I should just run and be his sighted guide for him in some of these episodes.
I think we've all noticed this today, that Ron has a really incredible personality and attitude towards things that might otherwise be challenging for a lot of people, and I think that's what made all the difference.
When you look at what he does and how he does it.
So there's a lot of ways that you can adapt an environment for, a variety of different people.
But I think one of the most important things is to have the right attitude to approach it, knowing that you don't always have to do it the same way as other people.
You can find workarounds.
And for Ron, he's been able to build a really wonderful community of people around him who are able to support his adventures, and they go out together, and then you get to have, like, this really amazing experience together instead of doing it by yourself as well.
Definitely.
Made me appreciate accessibility and what that looks like for, for different people.
And then also, how do you explain an experience to Ron so he can have more of an experience?
Right, so RON: Because being blind is a lack of information.
ASHLYN: Yeah.
RON:So like I say, if you can just plan it properly to me and I can figure it out, then I can figure it out.
But if you're you're missing one side of the box, you don't figure it out, ASHLYN: No, and then you see where you're missing those gaps of information.
And I'm very grateful that my background as a writer has helped me kind of be very perceptive about the world around me.
But even when I'm guiding Ron, I really do have to think, okay, what can he not visually see that is pertinent to him being able to navigate this, but also for his enjoyment?
Right.
There's an incredible sunset on the horizon.
I want to explain that and describe it for him and tell him the colors that we are seeing or how they're shifting or how they're changing or, you know, the sun might go behind the clouds, but what does that mean?
Is there a storm coming, or is it just a cloud that's passing by?
So it's like really building that visual world and describing it for him when we're on adventures, too.
And Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh and Friends.
ASHLYN: We've just had the sun rise over the horizon.
So we're all lit up now and, uh, it's daylight.
There's lots of little, uh, jack pine trees around us.
There's the cabin to the right of us that we've been staying warm in occasionally.
And uh, yeah, it's a really beautiful setting to spend the night up here.
and it wasn't too windy last night.
I think temperature was maybe a -21, something like that.
Yeah.
JOHN: With the wind chill.
RON: With the wind chill, ok.
- Yeah.
Dropped down to, uh, below -20.
So it did get a little bit colder, but it's going to warm up throughout the day for us too.
Yeah.
It's going to warm up soon as I get them skis on.
Yeah.
(laughing together) JOHN: Two kilometers downhill to start so that'll be good.
Nice.
Easy start.
ASHLYN: Yeah.
RON: Delicious breakfast here on the top of the hill.
JOHN: One chunk of pizza coming for you here.
Here you are.
RON: Thank you, sir.
(indistinct speech) (indistinct speech) I slept, uh, not too bad.
That 24 plus K more skiing to go.
And we're back to the finish line.
So-- We got a long day yet and we're knock the tents down pretty quick.
Get all packed up, get on the ski gear and we're off again.
Heading home.
ASHLYN: So we're just at the starting line here.
Day two all geared up.
We got a 24 kilometers ski out.
Woke up from winter camping.
We're feeling pretty good.
Loose.
Ready for this.
We got a two and a half kilometer downhill coming up and, uh, Ron sounds like he's ready to go.
So this is it.
Go time.
- Woot!
It's time!
Before a race, the first thing I do and I've done in many races is I get overly excited, take off, hit my foot with a pole and fall.
That does happen.
JOHN: A little bit right.
There you go.
Good.
Little bit left.
A little bit right.
A little bit left.
RON: Oof!
Oh!
Down already.
Hey.
Okay.
JOHN: K got a long downhill here It's curving left at the start and then it's straight.
A little bit left.
Kay, you're good.
Straight.
Just tuck!
RON: You okay John?
JOHN: Yeah, I hit the powder.
I was going to go left of you and then-- because I thought you were going into the powder and then, uh, you tilted to the left and took up, like, the whole trail.
So I went to the powder in the right.
RON: You okay?
JOHN: Yeah, I'm fine.
RON: Sorry about that.
JOHN: Its okay.
I should given you more space.
I thought you had the tuck.
(Ron chuckles) RON: Yeah, me too.
It's pretty shallow on that one side.
Pole wise.
ASHLYN: You okay Ron?
RON: Good.
Tired.
JOHN: You're good Ron.
ASHLYN: We're at our first check Nicely done Ron!
RON: Wow!
ASHLYN: 2.4K.
Less than 20 minutes.
You ripped down that hill.
You had me running.
- Alright!
Yeah.
Ron a little bit forward and rotate right.
A little bit.
Kay, you're good there.
Just go there.
ASHLYN: On day two, everybody's just a little bit more tired.
Sometimes things go a little bit slower.
And there were some really steep hills, especially we're in when we were in the forest.
JOHN: Just coast down.
Once you get to the top of the next hill, just take ‘er easy.
Okay.
Down and up now-- up, up, up.
All right, Take ‘er easy there.
(Ron chuckles) Take 'er easy!
Take 'er easy!
You're good?
You're good.
Okay, a little bit left.
A little bit left.
Left!
Left, left!
Uh, he had a couple of pretty rough wipeouts today.
RON: Ski got caught in the track.
JOHN: Uh, where he hit the ground and some snow pretty hard.
Every time you wipe out, it takes a lot out of you.
RON: Okay.
JOHN: Good?
RON: Yeah.
JOHN: Okay.
Uh, just rotate-- a little bit to the right.
There you go.
Go.
No track here just go.
Okay.
A little bit right-- good.
ASHLYN: When you're this tired and we do have some hills coming up these last few kilometers, um, it's good to take them slow.
Take them easy.
I know we want to be done fast, but we-- we want to get there in one piece.
no injuries.
RON: Sounds good.
ASHLYN: Yeah.
You've had a few tumbles too that just-- that make it hard.
RON: Crashes kind of wear out.
ASHLYN: Yeah, they do.
They're really hard on your body.
It's a big jolt.
So, we have one more series of hills.
Then we're on the lake?
ASHLYN: The whole stretch of it is probably-- two kilometers?
Kilometer and a half?
RON: Okay.
ASHLYN: And then we've got two and a half kilometers on the lake.
So-- RON: I am looking forward to the lake.
ASHLYN: Yeah, Yeah.
Once you're on there, we're home free and that's the final stretch.
Pretty tired-- you just-- just keep going.
And my speed definitely, you know, slowed down towards the finish line.
Imagine-- but you just keep going.
The finish line is over there and you just keep going.
With two and a half K to go of flat.
That's nice!
We're almost there.
- This is the last stretch - And it's flat!
- Two and half kilometers.
We've just come out of in the Nut Point Campground.
We're literally standing on the lake right now.
We're going to follow the shoreline along.
And, uh, go between the shore and that island.
And then we're home sweet home right to the end.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
JOHN: And for those in the warmer climes, we're standing on water right now.
- Yeah.
ASHLYN: How are you feeling?
I'm tired, but knowing that there is only two and a half K to go, I'm feeling pretty good.
And we're on the lake.
Wow!
Nice!
JOHN: Ron I see a sign up ahead here.
It says two kilometers to finish.
ASHLYN: 2000 meters.
That's all we got.
JOHN: There's another sign ahead.
I'm not sure if it's 1500 meters or 1K.
Gotta power through.
Ron we got another sign coming up, that might be half a K. RON: Crazy.
JOHN: 500 meters right here.
Coming in facing downtown La Ronge here.
Out on the ice.
300 to go Ron.
Keep going.
RON: Wow!
JOHN: Finish hard, finish hard.
RON: Can't believe we're heading for the finish line.
JOHN: Power through-- 100 meters Go hard.
Double pull go hard.
ASHYN: To the end.
Right to the JOHN: Keep going, keep going, keep going!
Keep going, keep going, keep going-- keep going!
(cheering) And turn left, turn left, turn left.
And you're done.
RON: Wow!
ASHLYN: Yes Ron!
(cheering and clapping) RON: Wooow!
Whoaaa-- a-- a!
Whoaaa-- a-- a!
ASHLYN: You did it!
(laughing) RON: Whoaaa-- a-- a!

Well done.
RON: Hey, hey!
Give me one these.
Alright!

- Right on!
Right on!
-We did it bud!
We did it.
Nobody died.
- Wow!
ASHLYN: Ron, you crushed it - Wow!
- That whole time.
- What is our time?
Our time- We got 24 km, 5 hours.
9 minutes.
Unbelievable.
It was a long day.
I was very, very, very tired when I was done.
But I'm so glad I've done it.
We're just at the finish line here.
It's a really upbeat, festive atmosphere.
I mean, all the volunteers are cheering everybody as they come in.
Um, there's big signs up announcing the finish line and everybody is just feeling a lot of relief when they cross that line.
There's some big races going on today.
First person ever, blind person ever to finish this race.
- Ever.
Yes!
- First person.
Wow.
Today, I was the first blind person to come do this race.
Now there's room for more blind people to come out here.
You may not be as fast as somebody else, doesn't matter You just keep going and you can do it.
Well, we just completed one crazy race in the Canadian Boreal Forest it's the Precambrian Shield.
So there was lots of elevation up and down.
And Saskatchewan is flat, but not everywhere!
So, Ron what's the next adventure?
Little portaging in the boreal forest?
