My idea for an adaptive sport to research was adapted skiing. Skiers sit on a chair that has a single ski instead of legs. In their hands they hold 2 smaller skis rather than poles. I remember watching the para-Olympics a couple years ago and seeing these guys skiing the snowboard cross track on their adapted skis. In my essay I plan to explore the history of the sport, the equipment, and the current events that involve this kind of skiing.
