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).
