ADAPTIVE SKIING
VOLUNTEER WORK
Skiing is a great sport for everyone and at Alpine Snowsports we are proud to work with local disabled groups as well as specialist schools and youth organisations offering opportunities for people to learn to ski. We have some specialist equipment which allows us to teach those who would normally not be able to participate because of a disability to have a go at skiing.
We also work closely with the Prince’s Trust supplying opportunities for local people to come along and gain some experience of working as part of a team and learning skills to help them eventually find full time employment.

SHOP
SPECIAL OLYMPICS We also support and facilitate a Special Olympics event at Alpine Snowsports. This event is for those with a learning difficulty and is part of the special Olympic movement. It’s a great event and one we are very proud to be involved with.
Our Initiatives WE’VE GOT A LOT GOING ON IN THE NAME OF SPORT AND EXERCISE! A number of unique projects and initiatives help us to celebrate all of the great things that happen in our local communities, and ensure that we are able to give something back through creating and supporting projects that make a difference to the activity rates and health of the nation.
