It was challenging for the skiers but everyone had fun and enjoyed the experience in the snow.

Next session is on the 4th of March

The challenge is for all our skiers to complete 20 runs down the slope, whether this is in a sit-ski, by themselves or with other assistance

We’re raising funds to buy 2 more sit-skis, helmets. tethers and other safety equipment

Its a shame that Ackers will no longer be running but its great news that we’re getting their equipment. Helmets,bi-skis, outriggers and lots of other useful bits will be making their way to Bracknell this weekend

Thanks Ackers !
