• Cross-Country/Nordic Skiing

• Adaptive equipment available
  
  These skiers may or may not also use other assistive aides such as orthopedic or braces to help them walk. Generally, use of one or two hand-held poles will be introduced to assist with achieving desired nordic telemark skills. Nordic telemark skiers may also use (a) one or two hand-held outriggers (forearm crutches with skis attached at the base of the crutch), thus providing four points of contact with the snow. This equipment assists with static and dynamic balance as well as helping to achieve desired dynamic nordic telemark skiing movements. Nordic telemark skiers may or may not require the use of other specialized adaptive equipment to provide support to the skis they are standing on (i.e modified trombone, spreader bar, etc).
