About Adaptive Skiing Equipment

There are dozens of companies that make a wide variety of adaptive winter sports gear, or if you are just interested in trying it out, often times there is rental equipment available. Pictured to the right is the most popular model of adaptive equipment, the bi-ski. This particular model by Tessier allows for an attachable handle so the rider can be steered by someone else, or there are models that can be operated independently. Organizations like STRIDE Adaptive Sports can help you to determine which is best for your level of interest and experience.
