If you (or someone you know) has physical disabilities that make stand-up skiing difficult or impossible, here is an opportunity to try the sport of cross-country sit skiing.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, the Strathcona Nordic Ski Club and Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snow Sports (VISAS) are co-hosting a sit ski clinic at the Mount Washington Nordic Centre for:

Individuals with physical disabilities. You may also bring one friend or family member – although this is not essential.

Participants must have reasonable upper body strength. If you are a wheelchair user, you must be able to transfer with minimum assistance.

People who enjoy this sport include those with paraplegia, MS, Cerebral palsy, lower limb amputees, and more.

 

To attend the sit ski clinic, the cost is $20 ($12.50 for DSABC members), which includes insurance, trail pass, equipment, and instruction. For more information and to register e-mail info@StrathconaNordics.com.
