The kids were total newbies to skiing and had the most amazing first experience, the instructors were really supportive patient and clear and great with our autistic son! Kathy was really helpful and a pleasure to speak to during the booking process I would strongly recommend to anyone we can’t wait to come back for our next lesson!

From the second we met James he showed a real understanding of the needs of my autistic son. Would highly recommend Snowbility.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their session with the Snowbility Team. Thanks so much!

From start to finish my experience with Snowbility can’t be faulted. Kathy came back to my initial enquiry almost immediately, shared all the info I needed to book a lessson easily. We received a warm welcome on arrival from Richard and Daniel. The lesson seemed to go brilliantly from our position on the viewing platform. Only 2 looks up to us throughout the whole session from our son. They made it fun and incorporated the things Conor wanted to do (throw snowballs!) . Amazingly my son stayed focussed for the entire hour and came out saying he’d had fun. We received good feedback after and it was clear they had struck up a good relationship. I will definitely be booking again! Thanks Snowbility!!

My son who is autistic and struggles with severe anxiety had the most wonderful first skiiing lesson with Snowbility. The instructors were incredibly supportive, patient and kind to Noah and he felt very safe and cared for with them. Noah struggles with severe anxiety on a daily basis so for him to be able to get on the slopes and ski by himself all in the first lesson is a credit to how supportive and encouraging his instructors were. They instilled confidence in him and after one lesson I can see the impact it has had on boosting his self-esteem. The instructors took such care and did an absolutely brilliant job. Noah can’t wait to go back for his next lesson.

What a fantastic experience our son had during his first skiing lesson! He was quite apprehensive and unsure if skiing was for him, but after just one lesson, he eagerly asked me to book another. Richard and Daniel were incredibly patient and employed excellent teaching techniques that made our son feel safe and encouraged throughout the entire lesson. He emerged from the session with a big grin. This was undoubtedly the best choice we could have made. Their expertise and supportive approach have truly sparked a new passion in our son. Highly recommended!

I’m so happy I was recommended Snowmobility. From speaking to Kathy through to meeting Daniel and Chris – this whole process was smooth and easy to understand. On the day, my 7 year son with high functioning autism met Daniel and Chris and they quickly took over to get my son dressed whilst including him and explaining what everything was. We spectated from the bar and I cannot explain how impressed I was with Daniel and Chris. Their kindness, understanding and support they gave my son was beyond what I expected and really made me feel relaxed and enjoy the experience too. For those this may help, my son has high functioning autism and can lose concentration VERY easily. Daniel and Chris allowed him time to be him and helped turn his focus back to skiing. I can honestly say, if like me you have a huge anxiety about taking your child in for lessons, you really need to give Snowmobility a try. It was an absolute joy to watch Daniel and Chris teach my son, I actually cried.

The Snowbility Vision statement says: \nWe aim to enrich the lives of the participants, by giving children with additional needs and mental health challenges the opportunity to develop both emotionally and physically through skiing. \nWe aim to give them a sense of achievement and pride. \nOur ski session did all of this and more. Taking our children out of their comfort zone and giving them a new experience (that many would not get outside of school) has opened their eyes to what is possible if they try new things. \nThe staff were both encouraging and patient and helped the childen feel safe right from the start. The children left looking forward to our next session on the slopes.

My son had a great time for his taster session. With the help of the instructors, he overcame his sensory issues to put on the equipment. The instructors were very patient, explained everything so he could understand and it was obvious that they were very used to helping autistic children. When out on the slopes, the instructors were amazing with him, went at his pace and had him skiing down the slopes with support. His only complaint was that he wanted to go higher up the slope! A huge thank you to Zac, Daniel and Snowbility for allowing Ben to have this experience. He wouldn’t have been able to experience skiing otherwise. He was so happy and proud of himself afterwards. A brilliant experience!

We never imagined in our wildest dreams that our daughter (who has significant learning difficulties) would ever go in the snow centre, let alone put on skis. But she did all of this in the first session under the compassionate support of Richard. He understood the intricacies of the impact of her needs from the get go and involved us as a whole family in moving our daughter towards the snow, putting skis on and enjoying being pulled around on them at the end of the lesson. We can’t wait for the next lesson!

My daughter has used the Snowbility before when she went to Oaklands College and she really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly, helpful, considerate, caring and nothing was too much trouble. Overall a most enjoyable experience and we will definitely will be using Snowbility again.

Our son absolutely loved his taster session with Richard & Daniel. Their enthusiasm, relaxed approach and clear communication made it easily for him to engage and reduced his anxiety immediately. Usually new activities are a bit of a disaster but from start to finish he was beaming and loved every minute and can’t wait to come back. It was great to see how even in one lesson his self confidence was boosted. Thank you!

My son’s first lesson was great 10 out of 10. l could watch him and see the progress. l would like to thank Richard for his understanding, care and genuine support. He is great instructor and easy to talk to. He is professional and calm in his approach. We will continue our lessons and l would recommend him to anyone who considers skiing lessons. \nThank you so much.

I really wish I knew Snowbility existed sooner! Everyone was super great at helping my son feel at ease for his lesson. Praising him for overcoming things he found challenging like putting ski boots on really helped. We look forward to our next lesson!

Could not ask for a better instructor – Zac is friendly, fun, patient and very knowledgeable!

What a wonderful experience, Richard was so welcoming and such a friendly, fun approach from the second we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, he quickly built up trust and a relationship with my daughter that she went from uneasy to totally engaged within moments. On the slopes, his easy manner and approach made her lesson so much fun she was waving and smiling and laughing. When they came off the snow, Richard said he had not laughed like that for ages – we give it 5 stars and cannot wait to return. Thank you for offering this truly important service, we could not have wished for better – Thanks Richard

Leo loved the lesson and gave it 9. 5 out of 10. He is often anxious to try new activities but Sam and his colleague made him feel relaxed and were encouraging.

Absolutely brilliant to see our son on the training slopes and actually skiing so quickly. His instructor, Al, was just fantastic, totally focused on our son the entire time from the moment we showed up. He communicated brilliantly with our son who is partially verbal. We will be back without a doubt!

After arriving 20mins early my Son was met by Zac with help and instructions on how the lesson will go. My son is Autistic and Zac was fantastic with spending time to make him feel comfortable. My son had a lovely time and really can’t wait for his next lesson. Sam also took part in the second part of the lesson and my son really felt welcomed. Thank you

A brilliant experience for my son with SEN who in the past would not do such activities, but now is engaging. The instructor listened and took his time to ensure my son was comfortable and remained relaxed. My son, who does not usually say he will go back to actvities we have trialled in the past, but said he will definitely be back. So despite the long driving distance and early rise, we will be back!
