Disability Snowsport UK (DSUK)
At DSUK, we believe that teaching disabled people to master the slopes can transform the way they experience their disability. We want to challenge the view that snowsports are only for the wealthy. Everyone has the right to enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits of snowsport. For our customers, it’s about enjoying achievement and independence. From picking their line to controlling their speed, they can experience something that’s often missing from their everyday lives – freedom. We run adaptive snowsport schools and ski clubs at snow centres and dry slopes in the UK, as well as organising trips to the mountains. We’re experts in adaptive snowsports. Working with a team of qualified instructors and incredible volunteers, we help to build a community, forge new friendships and ensure everyone can access snowsports. DSUK operates ski schools throughout the UK along with tailor-made accessible holidays and short breaks to mountain resorts. We support our fantastic volunteer-led local groups to increase recreational adaptive snowsport opportunities locally.
