An inclusive and empowering experience for all.
The Whakapapa Adaptive Festival is a three-day celebration of inclusive snowsports on the maunga, giving people of all abilities the chance to ski, ride and enjoy the alpine environment in a welcoming and supportive setting.
Hosted by our Adaptive team, the festival brings together athletes, first-timers, whānau and supporters. With guided sessions, adaptive equipment and plenty of opportunities to get involved, it's all about making snow sports more accessible and celebrating the joy of being on the mountain together.
