World Champion in Queenstown Ski & Snowboard WorkshopDouble World Champion and Winter Paralympic Silver Medallist, Corey Peters from the New Zealand Paralympic Ski Team, has been getting his skis tuned with the Queenstown Outside Sports Ski and Snowboard Workshop.
Corey was left paralysed from the waist down after breaking his back over shooting a table-top landing whilst racing his motocross in September 2009. Determined to keep sport in his life Corey became a Paralympic Skier, training year round with the New Zealand Adaptive Ski Team at Cardrona Alpine Resort in Wanaka and at Winter Park, Colorado, USA. Racing in all four Alpine disciplines including; Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G and Downhill.
Corey encourages people with physical disabilities to “get involved in skiing and give it a go because life doesn't stop just because you have a disability”.
