The Sit-Ski will be assigned to this child only and will be of no use to any other child.
This method of skiing is the ultimate for a wheelchair bound child with little upper body strength.

The sit-ski will be supervised by our experienced ski guide, who at all times will be tethered and in control of this equipment. It will be possible for this child to ski alongside their able bodied friends but in a seated position.

To be comfortably assisted by 1 adult room buddy with additional help from another for moving and handling procedures. The weight issue above is essential in protecting helpers.

It would be beneficial but not compulsory if this child were capable of weight bearing for a very short period.
