ADAPTIVE SKIING: Nooo, nooooo, Zack...the word is ""ADAPTIVE""....Even
-I've- done that and a 'cluckee' like me you have never seen! However,
at Brianhead and Lee Canyon (as well as the Park City, Utah Adaptive
Ski School) they have <Swoon!> good lookin' male guides (female guides
also) to guide you down the ski slopes...AND the sit-skis are nift for
SCIs and disABLED skiers who need sit-skis. Candace Cable was at Park
City when I went there last January...nift lady sit-skier and
Wheelchair Marathoner and Sprint/Distance Racer.
The guides have you / the skier / attached to them with a tether rope
so the skier never is in danger and does not go down those incredibally
steep and beauteous slopes at two miles per hour. The social life
apres' ski is nift also. There are Adaptive Ski Schools in the East
Coast mountains, Ohio, Colorado, Utah, California, Washington and
Oregon. There are addresses available...yes? No?
