Adam Hall, 22, from Otago, has spina bifida and is a medal
prospect given that over the past 12 months he has accumulated 14

for adaptive slalom skiing and has been the recipient of the New
Zealand Snow Sports Athlete of the Year 2008 - 2009. Adam has

compete in the Super G, Slalom and Giant Slalom. He first learnt to
ski on his feet, but for the last 13 years has used a monoski.
“The Winter Paralympics have always been a goal of mine and for the
last four and half years I’ve been working my butt off to ensure I
got there. Now the time has come, obviously I’m really excited to be
part of the team and all that hard work is beginning to pay off,”
says Peter who will be experiencing his first Paralympic Games.
