23.01.2022 International Day of People with Disability is about celebrating the achievements of people with a disability and to support them to continue to live their best lives and be their best selves. For South Australian teen Jack and his mates, going on Schoolies is a rite of passage after completing and to celebrate the end of their school studies. Thanks to Jacks support worker, Isaac Crowe, Jack and his mates got to do just that. Listen to the chat below with ABC Radio Adelaide...'s Sonya Feldhoff to hear about what they got up to #DisableStereotypes #SeetheAbilityinDisability #idpwd https://www.abc.net.au//boys-with-down-sydnrome-g/12929294

22.01.2022 "We are forever grateful for the DWA guides, who provided our family with an experience, we thought may never be possible. They were so patient and generous with their time, tailoring equipment and techniques for our daughters need, every step on the way. The progress and memories we made, along with the joy an her face, when she joined her sister on the mountain was unforgettable! Cannot thank Ursina and Josh enough for their time and guidance - skiing is now something we can now enjoy as a family" Rebecca, mother of DWA member, Charlotte.

20.01.2022 Winter Paralympian Sam Tait is urging you to help #protectOURseason and #flattenthecurve by #stayathome Australian Paralympic Team

20.01.2022 Dear DWA Community, I hope you are all faring well in these unprecedented times, which are impacting all of us and affecting DWA's operations for the 2020 snow season. I would like to acknowledge that this pandemic has caused disappointment for you and your families, and created frustration in booking services. DWA has been navigating a constantly changing landscape and this week has seen a positive step, with clearer advice being released.... This new guidance, for example the ability of lift staff to support those with a disability, is a significant shift from even a week ago where any physical contact was not permitted. The picture is becoming clearer and DWA will continue to work cooperatively with resorts as we finalise safety and operational plans. Please be assured that the DWA Board and Management are monitoring policy changes daily and are ready to move quickly and communicate any changes to you as they happen. We hope to be able to provide good news so that we can all enjoy the 2020 season. However, we should also be aware that like the rest of the industry, we are preparing for the situation to move in either direction. Given the complexities of the current situation, along with the diligence we must demonstrate to safeguard our members, DWA has engaged a professional consultant to write our COVID-19 plan. Our consultant has been instrumental in developing COVID-19 plans for many organisations, particularly in the alpine arena. This plan will be completed soon and will provide a clear set of operating procedures and guidance, enabling us to announce the next steps for DWA in 2020. Following the closure of our accommodation facilities in Falls Creek and Jindabyne, our camps program will not run this year. However, DWA will have an update next week regarding our plans to ensure equipment and guiding will be available as soon as practicably possible. These services are of utmost importance to DWA members and staff alike, and we will do everything we can to bring them online in parallel with the commencement of operations. Finally, I would like to thank you for you patience and understanding during this time. For understanding the difficulties our organisation had had to overcome and for your continued support during a period that has been tough on everyone. The DWA team looks forward to being able to deliver more good news on getting back to full speed - and in a way that keeps members, volunteers, staff and our organisation safe. Kind regards, Iain McGuire Board President Disabled Wintersport Australia

It took Sam seven hours to ascend the 16-kilometre route and reach the summit.... Click on the link below to read the full article!

11.01.2022 Dear DWA community We're calling on you to share and support. I hope you are well during these extraordinary times.... For over 40 years DWA has placed our members at the core of our operations. We have worked together to build an organisation which supports you, our members, in achieving on-snow goals previously considered unlikely, if not impossible. The current COVID-19 situation means the 2020 Australian snow season faces an uncertain future. State Governments have not yet decided whether ski fields will open to the public for a 2020 season. There is still a great deal of uncertainty but should a reduced or limited Snow Season occur, DWA will be there to provide services and care for our members. COVID-19’s financial impact on DWA is significant. We rely on your continued membership for DWA’s viability and so we may operate in future seasons. If you have not done so already, please support DWA in 2020 by renewing your membership. If you are unable to maintain your membership, we welcome a donation from you. Your support now is more important than ever to help DWA continue to support our members into the future.

The team at Amer Sports have brought the Australian Outdoors and Snow Industry together to create an online auction for you to support the alpine businesses doing it ...tough in Victoria. Bid to win great products and services from the best brands in the land, and 100% of the money goes back into the community through a series of $2500 grants with our Non-Profit Partner Into Our Hands. The team at Into Our Hands will then help find the best projects and coordinate the grants to create the biggest impact in the community. Bidding is now live now until the 23rd of November.

02.01.2022 Happy 76th Birthday to Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA) founder Ron Finneran OAM! Ron introduced skiing for people with disabilities into Australia in 1974. He himself had become a competent disabled skier through training programs in Canada and the USA. Ron's work in developing training programs, talent recognition and his personal encouragement and support to budding skiers has been a major factor in Australia's ranking of fifth in the world in disabled alpine skiing.

01.01.2022 The Coronavirus (Covid-19) is an ever changing and fluid situation. We continue to plan and remain hopeful of a limited or delayed season upon advice from Resorts and Government. In the event that Australian resorts open in a reduced capacity, we would like you to help by telling us how you would use our services and what you need from the resorts. Please help us by taking our short five minute survey here: https://www.disabledwintersport.com.au/surveys/1463/ ... Thank you for your input.

01.01.2022 TOM HODGES MOVES TO SNOW AUSTRALIA After six years with Disabled Wintersport Australia, Tom Hodges will commence work with one of our partners, Snow Australia as their Paralympic development coach. Tom started with DWA as Camps Coordinator in 2015 and then became Resort Services Coordinator in 2018. During his time at DWA, Tom trained many guides and skied with 1000s of DWA members. Tom’s new role with Snow Australia involves coaching the next wave of emerging para ski a...nd snowboard athletes, as well as organising talent identification events, which create a pathway for developing athletes. He will also have responsibility to build on the partnership between DWA and Snow Australia, providing opportunities for emerging talent within DWA, helping them move through a development pathway and into the high-performance arena. We wish Tom well in his new position and look forward to seeing him out on the hill; coaching, skiing and loving the snow.

01.01.2022 Every snowflake is different! One of the determining factors in the shape of individual snowflakes is the air temperature around it. Studies have identified that long, thin needle-like ice crystals form at around -2 C, while a lower temperature of -5 C will lead to very flat plate-like crystals. Further changes in temperature as the snowflake falls determines different shapes of the six arms or dendritic structure of the crystal. : Westend61/Getty
