Adaptive Skiing and Riding at Perisher
Perisher is proud to partner with Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA) to help guests of all abilities have the experience of a lifetime in the mountains.
Established in 1978, DWA has assisted thousands of individuals with disabilities to participate in winter sports annually. Some of Australia's finest alpine skiers have emerged from Perisher and DWA's partnership, going on to record victories at the highest level of international competition. The organisation's members range from recreational skiers to Australia’s Winter Paralympians.
