Story
Introducing Global Para Race Team
We help athletes succeed by providing them with an on-snow training program
Global Para Race Team started when a group of international athletes were in search of new ways to develop themselves. Para Team Liechtenstein opened their doors and together we created the Global Para Race Team. Ready to rock the ski world together.
The goal is to give our athletes the opportunity to break through onto the World Cup stage and beyond. GPRT offers a program that addresses the specific needs of elite athletes. A key element in developing your skills is to surround yourself with likewise people with the same goals, support and love for the sport.
We want to make a positive impact
Too often athletes are disadvantaged and marginalised by their national governing bodies or associations. It is particularly difficult to find the right para alpine race team when your country is too small, does not have the budget or staff or you don’t match the criteria to fit in.
Our mission is to be there for those athletes in search of a team. In our team athletes can be themselves, enjoy racing and achieve their potential without having to figure it out alone. We take away the burden and hassle so our athletes can achieve their maximum potential.
Support us
Para alpine ski racers have additional costs compared to able bodied ski racers such as mono skis, outriggers, radio headsets, custom protection and paying for an additional person to ski guide.
In order to be able to offer optimal training, recovery and performance for the team, we need your support. This world needs people who are committed to diversity and inclusion. We all have a social responsibility to create a better world. Let’s work to break barriers together!
