Looking to see if any of you or anyone you know is a disabled skier but they ride BC and big mountain. Going to AK in march for 2 weeks to push the limits as a skier with mild cerebral palsy. Trying to see if there are any other cp skiers out there. I have raced in the past so i know a lot of guys that ski race ect but not so many that free ride.

Im a disabled skier from Australia of all places working towards AK

I have a site set up of my journey http://theflyingmuzz.com/

Let me know your thoughts

Don't know him personally, but Josh Dueck (subject of an episode of Salomon Freeski TV) is a sitskiier for my hometown.

That's awesome what your doing man and good luck. I don't know any who ski that is disabled, it's pretty rare in my opinion. I've seen some videos though of disabled skiers from the waist down. They have like this seat with a single ski on the bottom of it and little support skis on their poles. Pretty inspiring and will be great to follow your website!
