Skiing is a popular sport for disabled people in New Zealand, and the New Zealand Disabled Ski Team has had success at the Winter Paralympics since the 1980s. This poster shows how disabled skiers can participate in the sport. In 2006, Disabled Skiing New Zealand was integrated with Snow Sports NZ.
