The P.a.s.s.o. Association was founded in September 1996 with the aim of promoting sports activities among people with disabilities. It works in close collaboration with CIP (Italian Paralympic Committee). In 2003, it organised the Italian Downhill Skiing and Cross-Country Skiing Championships in Artesina and the Certosa di Pesio; in 2004, the Downhill Skiing European Cup Final, again on the Mondolè Ski slopes of Artesina; and in 2006, again in Artesina, the Downhill Skiing World Cup Final.
Accessibility and usability
Cross-country, downhill and snowboarding courses and lessons are offered to people with motor and visual disabilities. Ski instruction and guiding for the visually impaired is based on using verbal communication aids (loudspeakers and metronomes), physical aids (sticks and poles) and physical contact.
