Skiing with mental disability
instructor was simply phenomenal. Encouraging, motivating. What is missing is accessibility. In real life you need chairlift to get you up on the slopes. There is nowhere in England to learn how to use the chairlift - fundamental in real skiing conditions. We need at least a dummy chairlift to practice this very challenging skill. Without it, there is no skiing. Manchester has no facility to learn this, Hemel Hampstead at least have a ski lift bench, but they don’t give access to use it - hiding behind H&S, tickbox mentality leading to discrimination of people with disabilities.by Alex Morris

My lessons were superb with Blake and then Chris the following day. Blake was brilliant by reassuring me and giving positive feedback that allowed me to settle in to lesson much quicker and was huge confidence boost.
He gained my trust very quickly and the lesson was very enjoyable.
Chris proved me with so much technical knowledge and in a way that made sense! The whole lesson was constant positive feedback with achievable goals but with an explanation to the mechanics behind the movement.
Thank you both so much, I am already looking forward to next month.

Getting me over the jitters of outdoor skiing after a very long break.
Backstory
I had slowly been getting back into skiing after covid shut everything down over the past few years. Added to this we had been unable to ski at Cairngorm due to the funicular beng closed. Braehead had shut so I had, a couple of lessons at Polmont. I hadn’t realised how much anxiety I brought to this lesson. Ross helped me unpack it, let me see I had the skills for skiing on the Cas and to correctly use a t bar. I came off very much happier and pleased to know I still had the skills and could use them.

Very tricky to use
I have a degree in engineering and really found the whole thing difficult to use! Tried to renew membership but had to go to a separate site! Just getting to the separate site was very tricky, I stumbled upon a link quite by accident and couldn't even now tell you where to find it. Improved sign posting is required. When booking my lesson the site required authorisation from my banking app (Halifax), after 3 failed attempts where authorisation given but dsuk website kept asking me to type in card details again. I eventually managed with a nationwide card. Tried to call, but it was 4.10!by Jordan

Just amazing! The lesson in itself was perfect. The teacher was great. Incorporated his special interest of letters and numbers and his penchant for high fives into the lesson. The look on his little face when he mastered going down the hill! He was buzzing for days after and bragging to his friends that he can now ski. It did his confidence and self-esteem so much good!
The communication with the organisers was brilliant too! They bent over backwards to help me figure out a time to get him booked on. Everything was so easy and plain sailing. Thank you so much to all xxx

We were keen to continue his exposure and experience in the UK and were extremely impressed with the service provided by DSUK, and in particular his instructor, Elizabeth Clifford.

Mono Ski First Lesson
After an incident at work 5yrs ago that resulted in a spinal injury I gave up hope of giving skiing a go. I had always wanted to but after the injury I thought my chance was over. Only after a conversation with friends, I started to do so research and discovered it might be possible to give it a go after all! So I became a member and arranged my first lesson. Leonie was so helpful and friendly at the booking stage and made the whole thing so easy to do. I met Kat at Glasgow and from the moment we spoke she put my mind at ease. I was nervous but very excited and she very quickly gained my confidence and trust. Kat chatted over my interests and reasons for giving skiing a go and I felt she really got me and what my personality was like. Kat was so reassuring and knowledgable, I felt in safe hands. We got on great together and the lesson was amazing, Kat was so encouraging and genuinely delighted at my progress. Thanks to Kat I have now booked another 10 lessons with her as I am determined to get on the real slopes and I am confident Kat can teach me the skills, she really is brilliant at her job and I am so grateful to have her by my side in achieving this life long goal.by Judi Waldman

I finally got back on the snow. 18 years after my accident and my amputation I love being on the snow. John was so helpful and reminded me of the basics.

I don't know how steep of a learning curve there was because John, Toni, and Lennie made it so effortlessly to get back on the ski. Manchester was a little bit of a drive for me but well worth it.

The 5 stars represent the quality of the instructor Jim. He was extremely good with my son Tom. Taking time beforehand to understand the requirement, being there early with equipment ready. However the environment he was expected to teach in was very challenging to say the least with 180 people on the slopes. He had so little room to teach my son in and indeed had other typical users just encroaching upon any space he could create. Both totally impractical and dangerous. Perhaps 2pm on a Saturday should not be advertised.by Teddy Watkins
