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:
鈥� Individuals with physical disabilities. You may also bring one friend or family member 鈥� although this is not essential.
鈥� Participants must have reasonable upper body strength. If you are a wheelchair user, you must be able to transfer with minimum assistance.
鈥� 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.
