Adaptive Skiing and Riding at Perisher

At Perisher, we don’t focus on your disability; instead, we focus on your ability to have fun and to learn new skills. We are proud to partner with Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA) to help guests of all abilities have an experience of a lifetime in the mountains.  

Established in 1978 DWA has assisted thousands of individuals with disabilities to participate in winter sports annually. Through collaboration, some of the world’s finest alpine skiers have emerged recording victories at the highest level of international competition. The organisations members range from recreational skiers to Australia’s Winter Paralympians.
