Snow Sports NZ work to get more people with disabilities on snow, skiing and snowboarding. We have set up agreements with resorts in NZ for people with disabilities to gain significant discounts on the mountain. We also make programmes and equipment more accessible and we run development camps for all levels and abilities.

Competitive adaptive snow sports include alpine ski racing, cross country skiing and snowboarding. New Zealand athletes have competed at the Paralympic Winter Games since 1980 and have won multiple Paralympic medals. Corey Peters, Adam Hall and Carl Murphy are household names and have been at the top of their fields in their sports.

We are well equipped in NZ with great adaptive snow sports equipment, fantastic adaptive instructors, volunteer programmes and supportive ski areas and staff. Here are some ways you can get involved in adaptive snow sports.

• Become a member of Snow Sports NZ to take advantage of discounted lift tickets and other great benefits.
• Sign up for an adaptive ski or snowboard lesson at your local resort.
• Get involved with your local disability or snow sports group.
• Come to the Snow Sports NZ Adaptive Festival!
• Organise a trip with your school, group or organisation.
