|
A
person with a Visual Impairment can learn to ski
the same way as everyone else, but needs one on one
tuition. They will be able to ski independently with
the aid of a trained guide. |
|
 |
2-track
skiers use two skis and include the hearing impaired,
upper limb amputees, below knee amputees, people
who've had strokes or other head injuries, learning
difficulties... |
|
 |
3-track
skiers use one ski and two outriggers. The outriggers
aid stability. They typically have one functional
leg, the other being affected by polio, accident
damage, amputation... |
|
|
4-track
skiers use two skis and two outriggers. They typically
have mobility and balance problems. These may be
as a result of Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis,
Spina Bifida, or amputation... |
|
 |
This
allows the skier to ski sitting down. Monoskis are
designed for low level paraplegics and others with
conditions affecting their legs. |
|
 |
Biskiers
are often high-level paraplegics, quadriplegics and
people with more severe impairments, who rely less
on their core stability and co-ordination than mono-skiers. |
|
|
On
our buddy courses, your able-bodied family member
or friend will learn the skills they need to help
you ski without the assistance of an instructor,
so you can ski independently. |
