A man who is usually confined to a wheelchair has qualified as a ski instructor in Argentina.

German Vega is based at Cerro Cathedral, South America's largest resort.

A spokesperson for the resort said they believed Mr Vega is the first sit ski user in the world to qualify as a ski instructor, however it later transpired that others in Europe have qualified as instructors.

Mr Vega is registered with the Argentina Association of Ski and Snowboarder Instructors and Rescuers (AADIDESS).
