Adaptive snow sports is about adapting equipment and lessons to allow people with a wide range of disabilities to experience the freedom of snow sports.
Alpine ski racing is one of the most popular competitive snow sports in NZ and we have had a rich history in the sport since the first ski races were held here in the 1920s.
Cross country is the oldest skiing sport. It is a low impact sport perfect for the whole family to enjoy. At the competitive level it is an endurance sport.
Freeskiing embraces the spirit of innovation. It encompasses the whole mountain from the ski cross course to the terrain parks and the backcountry.
Snowboarding is about riding the whole mountain, whether it’s the natural mountain terrain, the race course or in the halfpipe or terrain parks.
In freeride skiing & snowboarding, riders go over natural, unmonitored terrain without a set goal or trail to follow. Freeriding is for skiers who have a thirst for adventure and enjoy exploring new areas.
