Making snow sports accessible for everyone

Adaptive Ski & Snowboard Lessons

Cardrona’s Adaptive Lessons provide support for people with physical, sensory and cognitive impairments. We want to help everyone enjoy the freedom of skiing and snowboarding with family and friends and make snow sports accessible for all. We hope to cater for every individual’s needs, with specialised snow sports equipment like sit-skis, frames, outriggers and other supportive equipment available.

Snow Sports NZ adaptive members get 50% off per day no matter how many days you purchase - this applies to all other fare types. Members need to show a current membership ID at the time of purchase.
