As a Ski Club we have been taking Visually Impaired Veterans Skiing for over 45 years to different resorts. For the last 20 years we have been using the area Val di Fassa in the Italian Dolomites. The area is vast and can cater for the beginner to expert skier both fully sighted and visually impaired. All our Visually Impaired Veterans are registered Blind and their type of blindness is varied from what a sighted person would see as blurred to zero visibility. As a ski club we can cater for all types of snow sport and have recently had one of our visually impaired members achieve his Snowboard Instructor Qualification
This trip is a key part of their rehabilitation the vision impaired veterans help organise and run this trip at their own personal cost. This builds up their independence where they budget, set up travel arrangements and build confidence which improves their standard of living.
