Covid-19 has changed everything, but DSUK remains committed to ensure that disabled people can continue to access snowsport. Outdoor slopes present new, cheaper opportunities for our skiers. We'd be grateful if you can support our move outdoors :)

Story

Skiing is a really fun sport that I love, I would be really sad not to do it. It's exciting to speed down a slope and I think it would be even more exciting if you couldn't normally do it. 

I am going to do a sponsored ski! I am going to try and beat my personal best of 21 runs in an hour. I would be doing my sponsored ski at the Hemel Snowcentre where I have seen people having lessons from DSUK before. 

I love skiing and really missed going on holiday this year. I can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to do sports like skiing or snowboarding. When I am skiing I feel happy, and excited. 

Covid-19 has made it difficult for DSUK to operate at real snowcentres so they are raising money to move to dry slopes. I would like to help them raise money for this move so that more people can learn this fun sport.
