Hi my name is Anna Turney
My Story
Snow Buddies UK helps skiers and snowboarders with disabilities, achieve their aspirations to ski or board on the open mountains, this has got to be beneficial to everyone with a disability.
At the time of writing Snow Buddies run well organised inclusive ski trips to La Plagne in France and Niederau in Austria. The trips cater for a broad spectrum of disabilities and skill levels. To ensure the trips are affordable to all they are heavily subsidised by fundraising events.
The benefits either as a beginner, improver or expert are far to numerous to list, but a few of the big benefits are;
Experiencing the fresh air, wide open slopes and beautiful scenery.
Improvement to physical and mental health.
Social engagement and making new friends
