It is the well-known fact, that efficient and appropriate physical activity influences general physical fitness and the high self-esteem developing. The downhill skiing develops the disabled person’s body as a whole, because of non-standard environmental condition and activities necessary to develop skiing technique. The basic condition to make progress is to overcome psychological barriers, which appear in new, different environment. The trainer is the person, who is responsible for compensation capabilities’ development and who is the guide also. These capabilities reflect and allow learning to ski.The aim of the study is to draw attention to the trainer qualifications, which have decisive impact on the safe and efficient training process organisation and the learning to ski process in the opinion of visually disabled people, who have taken part in the skiing trainings. The research has been carried out in 1999–2007 in Zieleniec. The diagnostic survey method with questionnaire forms has been applied. The group of 41 visually disabled people, who took part in the intensive, seven-day skiing training, answered questions (open and closed). The questions were the source of information on communication, better understanding of reality and effective moving in new environment. According to respondents, blind and visually impaired people expect their trainer-guide to create suitable training climate, which would allow overcoming their capabilities’ barriers. They point out good weather and snow conditions, good organisation of trainings and learning conditions and barriers, which have limited their activities, not only as the skiers.
