Ski Carting
Ski Carting is an amazing technology enabling those with the most severe disabilities to ski.  Most quadriplegics with some arm function will be able to ski these Carts independently.  You sit in a moulded body hugging fibreglass shell connected by a metal chassis and suspension to four skis.  The Carts don't require balancing or outriggers and are completely stable at rest.  Two levers at waist level are pushed or pulled to turn the two front ski's on the ski Cart.  If you don't have great grip then there's a variety of different levers to choose from ands specially adapted gloves to keep your hand on the levers.  When learning to ski these Carts they can be controlled by a ski instructor using a tether rope attached to the rear. The Carts cannot use chair lifts and use the button lifts instead.  Sweden leads the way in the use of these Carts at their ski school in Are. I have skied these Carts for the last 3 ski seasons in Sweden and photos/videos and information about my trips can be found here www.andylee.freeuk.com/homepage.htm
