Adaptive Snowsports
Disability Snowsport UK
Here at Chill Factore we are proud to be working together with Disability Snowsports UK (DSUK) to raise the profile of adaptive snowsports, promote opportunities for participation and offer pathways for guests who wish to try a new sport.
Through our partnership with DSUK we are able to accommodate the needs off all our guests and offer individuals with any disabilities – including physical, sensory and learning difficulties – the chance to participate in snowsports.
On the day of your lesson:
- Please arrive 30 minutes early to allow time to park and get ready.
- You do not need to check in with Chill Factore reception - just follow signs to the snow.
- There are separate desks to get clothing and skis/boots/snowboards, hire is included in the price of your lesson.
- Helmets are needed for all lessons. Helmets are on racks near the doors to the snow.
- You will need to bring waterproof gloves/mitts.
- There are changing cubicles and a Changing Places disabled toilet in our Changing Village. These toilets are locked through a radar key (available from Guest experiences if required).
- Lockers take a £1.00 coin, which is returned.
- When you are ready, please wait at the benches where Chill Factore & DSUK lessons meet their instructor.
