Adaptive and Disabled Skiing enable those with physical disabilities to participate in alpine skiing.
The Sit-Ski is a sitting position ski developed for individuals with lower extremity limitations. The Sit-Ski is usually preferred by people with significant physical limitations.
The Mono-Ski is for individuals who ski in a sitting position. A mono-skier would need good upper body strength, balance and trunk mobility.The skier sits in a molded seat (bucket) mounted to a frame above a single ski. A shock absorber links the frame to the ski.
The Bi-Ski is for individuals who ski in a sitting position. A bi-skier sits in a molded fiberglass shell above two specially designed skis. The two skis give a wider base and better balance than a mono-ski.
