Snow Sports NZ Adaptive Festival

Celebrating adaptive snow sports and empowering athletes of all abilities in New Zealand


About the Snow Sports NZ Adaptive Festival

The Snow Sports NZ Adaptive Festival started over 15 years ago to create a fun, social and developmental atmosphere for adaptive skiers, snowboarders and snow lovers to get outside and enjoy the mountains together!  

​The 3-day long festival is aimed at anyone wanting to get involved in snow sports, from first time skiers and snowboarders through to expert riders. We just want to provide the platform for you to get on snow with friends and family, and love snow sports as much as we do!  

​Over the duration of the festival, there are multiple events to get involved with, prizes to be won and a great support network of dedicated volunteers to help ensure you get the most of your time on snow!  For anyone wanting to pursue to a competitive pathway the festival is a great place to start!
