Over 60 Aboriginal Youth Shred Up Thredbo!

The Australian Indigenous Alpine Sport Foundation (AIASF) brought over 60 disadvantaged Aboriginal youth to Thredbo to promote participation in Alpine Sports, aiming to highlight how skiing, snowboarding and other alpine activities can be used in positive ways.

Everyone had an amazing day, with instructors teaching each kid how to shred up the slopes, learning in a safe and progressive environment.

The foundation’s main objective is to offer the youth the opportunity to try and become involved in sports such as skiing and snowboarding, so they can use it as a tool for later in life! Kids that love the snow and show a willingness to learn are given the opportunity to succeed, train and participate in skiing or snowboarding at a competitive level…RAD!

They also offer employment opportunities for participants in their program once they have completed high school, showing them the benefits of spending a season in the snow and the opportunities that come with it.
