Three-Track Skiing

These skiers have one typical leg and two typical arms. They are generally individuals who have a leg amputation. Three-trackers use one full-size ski and two hand-held outriggers giving them three points of contact on the snow. 

The outriggers have short ski tips at the end creating three tracks in the snow behind the skier.  The outriggers are used for balance and turn initiation.

All lessons include lift ticket, equipment, and private instruction with a minimum of two instructors.  We have a staff of over 100 highly trained volunteer instructors.  Over two-thirds of these are certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America or the American Association of Snowboard Instructors.  

The Wintergreen Adaptive Sports skiing and snowboarding program makes it possible for anyone to feel the wind in their face and the thrill of a speedy ride down the slopes.  Our focus is on safety, fun, and learning, and our goal is for you to attain independence as an adaptive skier or snowboarder.  Our snow sports program operates seven days a week from mid-December through mid-March, with the exception of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
