Abstract

Adaptive alpine skiing and para-snowboarding are downhill races adapted for athletes with physical impairments typically of the neuromuscular system including, but not limited to, spinal cord injury (SCI), congenital or acquired limb amputation(s), cerebral palsy as well as athletes with visual impairments. Para alpine skiing was part of the first Paralympic Winter Games in 1976 and has grown in popularity since. Para-snowboarding made its debut in the 2014 Paralympics Winters Games. Classification is a process to help athletes compete fairly based on function rather than medical diagnosis. LW1–4 classifications are for standing skiers with lower limb impairments, LW5–8 encompasses standing skiers with upper limb impairments, LW9 is standing skiers with combined upper and lower limb impairments, LW10–12 are sit-skiing athletes, B classification is for skiers with visual impairments, and SB-LL and SB-UL are classifications for snowboarders with lower limb or upper limb impairments, respectively. This chapter highlights the specialized equipment utilized for para skiing and snowboarding including outriggers, tethers, and sit-skis/monoski frames. Lastly, both common and unique injuries seen in para alpine skiing and snowboarding will be highlighted. Including a focus on athletes with neurologic impairments that can affect thermo-regulation as well as potential environmental concerns.
