Ask Google for adaptive ski equipment and you'll get various websites with lists of adaptive ski equipment suppliers. I'd start with Spokes n Motion. If you're in Europe, look for Praschberger and Tessier.
Hope that helps...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I will find out which sit skis our group uses. A good quality sit ski will cost a few thousand dollars. I certainly know the new models the charity that assists my daughter are far easier to "bucket ride" particuarly for me being tall.

http://www.spokesnmotion.com/node/133?form=133 Think its this one. We took one of the parents down a slope when in la plagne last year and they said the ride was much nicer than our older sit skis. It also has more adjustment options. Personally riding a sit skier I find it much easier to use. Downside its about 6000 dollars

http://enablingtech.com is a good place to go as they are the manufacturers of the Bi-Unique Bi ski and they also make the Superlite outriggers which most adaptive ski schools use

Hi Mahonri89,
Please let me know where are you based and some more info regarding group age and what skiers do you ski with (what disability). I will do my best to let you know what will be the best value for money if you are thinking about getting some adaptive kit. You can contact me as well on dom@activetherapy.eu
Regards, Dom
