A Kart ski is a type of sit ski with a molded seat that sits atop a frame connected to skis which are controlled by student’s hands. The Kart ski is an extremely stable ski, providing a great base of support for students. It is tethered by an instructor, but turn shape can be controlled via the hand controls, which are attached to the skis. Kart skis are controlled with two hands on the hand controls or one hand with the hand controls connected together. Participants with any of the following may be successful Kart Ski candidates : Cerebrovascular accident, spinal chord injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, hemiplegia or other orthopedic diagnoses.
