HANDICAPPED NEED FUNDS
New sit-ski venture

A SKIING club for paraplegics and quadriplegics
in North Vancouver needs donations and able-
bodied volunteer skiers to assist in developing their
sport, says one of the organizers.

‘‘It’s something new, it’s
very exciting. With (a dona-
tion of) 10 or 50 dollars, you
can really help in the initial
stages of the development of
this sport,’’ said Jeff Ehlert,
executive director for the
North Shore Association for
the Physically Handicapped.

‘*Three years ago, |
wouldn't have known what
to do with myself in terms of
a winter sport activity,’’ said
Ehlert, a skier who 1s himself
in a wheel-chair because of
muscular dystrophy ‘Snow
1 looked on as: ‘My God, |
hope it doesn't " Now I look
forward to tt

“With the mobility impair
ment, one of the things you
lose is to feel the wind in your
face — to run down the
street. You get tt back doing
things like sit-skiing "'

Sit-sking is the term Ehlert
uses for the specialized skiing
that about 25 pcople par
ticilpatuung tn the club do
Because of various handicaps
ranging from muscular
dystrophy to spinal cord in-
juries, these skiers can't
stand. So they ski in devices
loosely resembling dog-sleds
The skiers sutoin the sleds
(which cost from $700 to
$2000), and use either short
ski-poles of kayak -paddic
style poles to guide them
selves down local mountains
~ usually Whistler of
Blackcomb

The sit-skiers are helped by
able bodied skiers who

By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN

follow them down the hills,
attached to the sleds by a
tether. Although family and
friends of the sit-skiers help
with this, the club needs more
of these ‘‘tetherers,’’ says
Ehlert. Volunteers should be
good skiers, and would have
to take some basic training

Another of the sit-skiers is
Yvette, a 60-year-old North
Vancouver woman who skied
for 40 years before becoming
confined to a wheel-chair
three years ago

“I’ve done helicopter ski-
ing before this, and this is
just as exciting in its own
way,”’ she said ‘‘! get but-
terflies in my stomach doing
this You're low to. the
ground, and you have a sen
sation of speed "'

Yvette, who has full use of
her arms only, hasn't been
skiing this season (“the con
ditions are so lousy right
now’), bul intends to hit the
slopes as soon as pessible,
she said

Ehlert said the sit-skiing
club was initiated about four
years ago when Lynn Valley
teen-ager Scott Anderson and
his) father read about sit
skiing in Colorado Scout
who has cerebral palsy
took sit skung lessons there,
and brought’ the sport to
North Vancouver, where he
gol together with a group of
interested participants

The sit-skiers are tremen-
dously enthusiastic, says
Ehlert, although poor condi-
tions have prevented them
from taking a ski-trip as a
group this season. Being able
to ski gives the members a
psychological lift.

‘*That’s one of the things
we do lose, and it’s a rush to
get it back,’” he said.

The group’s equipment
and administration is handl-
ed by the North Shore
Association for the Physical-
ly Handicapped. Donations
or offers of assistance can be
made by phoning 985-5371,
and asking for the part-time
sit-skiing co-ordiantor Ingrid
Baxter, or Jeff Ehlert) The
club is now funded by dona-
tions from individuals or ser-
vice clubs

The idea of handicapped
people skitng seems
courageous, but Ehlert, who
also fltes ultra lights
(motorized hand-ghliders) in
his spare time, brushes this
off

“Mt takes no more courage
to sit-ski than for an able
bodied person to strap on
skis,"" he said
