Kobus Oeschger is an olympian who represented South Africa at the wheel chair basketball 2012 Paralympics. He decided to visit Afriski for the 2014 winter season and he just blew us all away.
After just 1 day of learning how to use the special ski, designed for those who are physically disabled, he was skiing down our intermediate slope completely on his own.
It was absolutely amazing to have Kobus Oeschger visit our resort and we open our arms to more of you out there who are in his position.

In a world where nothing is certain, there is one thing I have learned to count on over the years.. A ski day at my home hill of Whitewater in Nelson BC is sure to be sweetened by a sighting of local skier Mary Woodward going for a rip on the slopes. Sadly May 31st 2014 marked the end of an era, when Mary Woodward passed away at the age of 80. Her life was celebrated this weekend by the Kootenay community and her family, a tribe of great skiers raised by the Mary who are all pillars of our mountain community.
