Last weekend, we hit the slopes at Snowplanet as part of our Auckland Youth Programme. With the support of Snow Sports New Zealand, Snowplanet instructors and skilled volunteers, eight participants took to the snow for a fun morning on the slopes.
Athlete Spotlight: Thomas Coysh
For Auckland based Thomas Coysh, sport has always been a big part of his life. As a teenager, Thomas was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, which causes loss of vision. His deteriorating vision forced him to learn new ways to keep active. These days Thomas is involved in the many adapted sport opportunities available to him, and is about to go to Outward Bound for the second time.
