Two Track - Instructional progressions are used for those individuals who
have the strength to independently support themselves, to balance, and to
coordinate movements while standing upright. Generally these individuals
ambulate (walk) independently without the use of assistive aides (forearm
crutches, walker, etc.). Two track skiers generally have two points of
contact with the snow and ski standing upright on two skis. If and when it
is appropriate, the use of one or two handheld poles will be introduced to
assist with achieving desired skills. Two track skiers may or may not
require the use of other specialized adaptive equipment to provide support
to the lower extremities and help control the skis (i.e ski-bra-tip
device, spreader bar, etc).
A partial list of those who would use 2-Track
methods includes: persons with developmental disabilities, blind/visually
impaired, traumatic brain injury, etc.
