    Wheelchair Ski-ing definitely has the SnowFactor

    It was great to try out the adapted ski-ing at SnowFactor in Braehead Shopping Centre. Being a huge sports fan I was eager to try it out as I never thought it would be possible. It’s fast, fun and provides you with an adrenaline rush making you want to go faster each ski-run. Having different options for different abilities was fantastic, I got to try out the mono-ski which allows you to be completely independent as well as try out the tethered assisted option. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get into adaptive snow sports, or try something new.

    Skiing to freedom at Soar Braehead

    I had an amazing experience trying skiing for the first time at Soar at Breahead shopping centre. The ski sessions are run by Disability Snow sports UK. The charity have a whole team of instructors who will ski with people who have never skied before. It was such an immense feeling of freedom if you have never tried skiing before I highly recommend trying it! The disabled participant can use a byski which is like a sledge with skis on the bottom. It is surprising comfortable and stable to sit in.

    Fantastic experience of adapted skiing

    I had an amazing experience skiing at Snow Factor which is located within the Soar building at Intu, Glasgow. I went with a few other wheelchair users and I was the first to have my slot which was about an hour long. I had no idea what to expect and this wasn’t really explained so I asked a lot of questions to begin with. There were some teething problems to begin with because the instructor didn’t have an assistant (usually she does) but I spoke up about how I felt and my needs and these issues were soon rectified. The instructor also used lots of skiing terms that I wasn’t aware of which meant I had to keep asking her to clarify these. The rest of the experience was very positive, and the sit-ski was comfortable, communication improved, I had loads of fun and would do it again
