The 2024 Epic Australia Adaptive Pass begins to address some of the barriers for people with impairments when skiing and riding with lower cost lift access so they can discover the magic of our Australian, North American and European resorts and develop their on-snow abilities.

From providing access to adaptive equipment to partnering riders with trained and experienced guides, DWA creates a safe and energetic environment to support impaired riders on the snow.

All ‘Individual’ DWA members and Companion Card holders will be eligible for the Epic Australia Adaptive Pass and its benefits. We highly recommend impaired skiers and riders joining DWA to ensure your on-snow success.
