Unlimited Possibilities is dit jaar opgericht om wintersportactiviteiten te
faciliteren voor mensen met een lichamelijke beperking. Wij zijn gevestigd in Kaprun en Zell am See in Oostenrijk. Met goede samenwerkingen vanuit organisaties in Nederland kunnen wij ook hier in het buitenland de mogelijkheid bieden om te wintersporten. Doordat wij verschillende zitski’s en andere materialen op locatie hebben, krijgen we boekingen vanuit Nederland, maar ook van vakantiegangers uit de rest van Europa.
Sinds wij UP hebben opgezet merken we dat ook reguliere wintersporters interesse hebben
om een keer te zitskiën. Veel mensen hebben een zitski nog nooit gezien, laat staan erin
gezeten te hebben of er daadwerkelijk in geskied.
Daarom hebben wij besloten om een open dag te organiseren voor mensen met
én zonder beperking. We willen iedereen de ervaring bieden hoe het is om in een zitski van de berg te suizen. Uiteraard helpen wij daarbij. Iedereen uit de regio is uitgenodigd om op zaterdag 20 januari op de beginnersheuvel in Kaprun, de Lechnerberg, te komen zitskiën met ons.
Als je toevallig in de buurt bent en je bent nieuwsgierig, kom dan vooral langs om het ook eens te proberen.

This versatile ski star moves in different disciplines within the winter sport. Rarely can she be found on the slopes, but all the more in the park and outside. In addition, she has specialized over the years in the structures of adapted winter sports. After her first training in Sport Management & Entrepreneurship, Caroline went on an adventure and spent three seasons in a row (Canada, Austria and New Zealand) literally tasting the snow. It tasted like more! During her second study, she went looking for winter sports in the Netherlands and she started freestyling. She spent many hours in the park of the indoor halls and trained with the freestyle team Steasy and participated in various competitions. After completing her second Masters in Sport Policy and Organization, she found work in winter sports. At the NSkiV she has put the structure for the adapted winter sports on the map and thus offered the possibility that everyone with a disability, just like everyone else, can enjoy winter sports. This structure has paid off and many people with physical disabilities have started practicing winter sports, some of which are now even professional. Organizing and initiating international projects and races, including World Cups, is no stranger to her either. During her employment, she has put many initiatives for adapted winter sports on the market together with other countries and the IPC. Nowadays she enjoys freeriding to the fullest. She was able to do this fully in Japan and in the surroundings of Kaprun. Whether it is a trip with many altimeters, sleeping in a mountain hut or putting a boat pack, challenging yourself while skiing and discovering beautiful places in the remote nature is for her the most beautiful thing there is.In 2017 she started her own organization, called: UP Adaptive Sports. UP stands for Unlimited Possibilities and offers a wide range of adaptive skiing or snowboard activities for people who are physically or mentally disabled. She does that in the area of Kaprun, Austria.
