Adaptive snow sports

Adaptive snow sports

A group of disabled snow sportspeople pose on the slopes. Snow Sports New Zealand, the official governing body for snow sports in New Zealand, has adopted the No Exceptions strategy, which encourages the involvement of people with disabilities in sport and recreation. As part of the strategy, Snow Sports New Zealand receives advice on adaptive programmes to make snow sports available to all.
