Please see our copyright and disclaimer notice page. After 10-plus years of teaching adaptive skiing and running a ski school for adaptive skiers, I can't really accept that distinction.

Let's face it, strapping on long, slippery boards and riding them down snow-covered mountains is not exactly a natural human act. Skiing is an exercise in adapting for everyone.
