OVERVIEW Adaptive sports are sports that are adapted in some way to better support individuals with intellectual or physical impairments. These adaptations can include differences in equipment, technique, or teaching techniques. Cross-country skiing (also called Nordic skiing) is a wonderful option for people with disabilities who enjoy exploring trails or engaging in physical activity in winter environments. Some people pursue Nordic skiing for the peace and solitude, some like the fitness that comes with practice of the sport, and others en- joy pushing their bodies to the physical limit. Sit skiing is a great way for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs), leg amputations or injuries, or mobility impairments to enjoy the sport of cross-country skiing. As with other snow sports, the teaching progression for skiers with disabilities has evolved as instructors and students explore different and innovative approaches.

    Glossary of Ski Terms by Skis.com Page 1 of 11 Home > Ski-O-Pedia > Glossary of Ski Terms Glossary of Ski Terms By Steve Kopitz 12/18/2012 Skiing and snowboarding are two of the greatest winter sports on the planet, and like anything else in this world the two sports have certain terms and jargon that can be confusing without a bit of definition. Below you will find a number of terms/phrases used in skiing and snowboarding to refer to products, clothing, and the sports of skiing and snowboarding in general. We have provided a brief definition to help clear up any confusion or questions you may have on these terms/phrases. A ABS Sidewall: Industry term for a type of edge construction on skis and snowboards using high quality ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. All-Mountain Ski: A large percentage of Alpine skis fall into this category. All-Mountain skis are designed to perform in all types of snow conditions and at most speeds. Other names for this style of ski include Mid- Fat skis, All-Purpose skis, and the One-ski Quiver. Alpine Skiing: Downhill skiing, as opposed to Nordic Skiing. Après-Ski: The day’s over – time for drinks and swapping war stories from the slopes. Audio Helmet: A helmet wired with speakers that allows you to listen to music while skiing. Avalanche Beacon: A safety device worn by skiers, snowboarders, and others in case an avalanche traps them. The beacon transmits a signal (typically at the international standard frequency of 457khz) that rescuers can use to locate a buried person.

  • Ski Team History
    A F.A.S.T. HISTORY The history and stories of the Fryeburg Academy Ski Team and skiing in the town of Fryeburg, Maine By: John S. Weston Fryeburg’s Ski Trains: With the town of Fryeburg’s location in the snow belt of the foothills of western Maine, skiing has been a natural part of the town’s winter lifestyle from the early 1930’s. Some of the first known documentation of this history began with the storied ski trains that many western Maine towns established to boost the traditionally slow winter economy. In 1935, the Fryeburg Winter Sports Committee (which grew from the local Kiwanis Club) was established to build and promote Fryeburg as a winter sports destination. The instrument they focused on was the local Maine Central Railroad train that ran from Union Station in Portland through Fryeburg. The idea was to advertise and promote the entire town as a destination for winter enthusiasts from all over and have the train be their transportation. Fryeburg Winter Sports Committee letterhead Among the activities offered were ice skating, tobogganing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, ski-jouring (Nordic skiing with dogs), ice fishing, bobsledding, and, of course, skiing. Skiers coming to town were divided by ability. Novices were started in the open pasture on the north side of Pine Hill at the Weston Farm. Intermediates went to the local landmark known as Jockey Cap, and in 1936 two trails were cut at Stark’s Hill for the advanced. A winterized horse drawn sleigh called a “sledge” picked up the travelers at the train station and transported them to the various activity sights or their Jockey Cap toboggan run.
