Adaptive skiing sessions for disabled people are now available at Plymouth Snowsports Centre
Andy Mossford, Senior Instructor at Plymouth Snowsports Centre, said:
“The course provided by Southern Ski Club for the Disabled was incredibly inspiring. The knowledge and techniques we gained have given our instructors greater confidence to continue supporting disabled people we already welcome at our centre, and we are excited to now be able to offer deaf, blind, visually impaired, deaf blind, amputee and neurodivergent friendly sessions as part of our current programme.”
“As a family-friendly centre, we truly believe that skiing should be accessible to everyone. We are also working towards being able to offer sessions for people with certain physical disabilities that require specialist equipment, just one example is the Kart-Ski designed to allow wheelchair users to enjoy skiing, we have begun seeking quotes and exploring funding avenues to make this possible in Plymouth. Our aim is to give people who have never had the opportunity to ski the chance to experience the sport, while also supporting those who want to continue developing their skills.”
“Having been a ski instructor in Plymouth for over twenty-five years, it was fantastic to gain a new perspective on the sport I love and, most importantly, to be able to share that experience with even more people. This course has opened up exciting new opportunities for us and has reinforced our belief that skiing really can be for everyone.”
