Redpoint
The Adaptive Programme has been developed to provide people with almost any physical or learning disability the opportunity to ski. This is not a group trip. This programme is available to you, so that you can book a ski holiday with your family or friends. Redpoint provide specialised equipment and a qualified and experienced instructor to help you learn or improve. With all adaptive skiing there are no hard and fast rules concerning what equipment a person will need or how they will ski. A person with a Visual Impairment can learn to ski the same way as everyone else, but needs one on one tuition. They will be able to ski independently with the aid of a trained guide. http://www.redpoint.co.uk/disabled-holidays.shtml
