I was just wondering if anybody here have ever cross country skied after their accident. I've seen it in the Paralympics but have not heard much about it other wise.

I did X-country ski-ing before my accident. I remember it needed a lot of full body effort. I cant see how it could be done from a chair. You'd be exhausted after about five minutes.
I didn't watch the paralympics, Do you have any photos?

Thanks Chilepepper

That's great. As long as the skis are well waxed I think I could manage that. Ive already got very good upper body strength (comes from pushing over rough ground without the snow!)
