It is probably possible to ride, but would be very difficult. The wider the ski, the harder to roll into a carving position. Now, many sitskiers have done well with wide powder skis. Anyway, the rig is the first thing to deal with, and much more expensive. Look around this forum for ski and rig info, it has more activity on sitskiing:

I don't know whether there are adaptive ski programs in the Pyrenees, but there are many good ones in the French Alps.

Good luck!
