**Disability Snowsport UK has received its biggest ever donation in its 40-year 
history, which is enabling it to open a new adaptive snowsport school.**

The charity received £131,000 from Crystal Ski Holidays, which will enable [DSUK](http://www.disabilitysnowsport.org.uk/)
to establish a new adaptive snowsport school at the dry ski slope at Sandown Sports
in Esher, Surrey.

A significant proportion of the donation is a result of [Crystal Ski Holidays](https://www.crystalski.co.uk/)
customers choosing to donate £1 whenever they have booked a ski or snowboarding 
holiday through Crystal’s website. This money has been topped up further through
guests donating additional funds when participating in various activities during
their holiday.
