6 months ago I have lost my left leg because of an accident. Before,
snowboarding was one of my favourite sports and now I want to do it again. Has anyone of you experience with snowboarding with a prothesis ? |

snowboarding with leg amputation
Has anyone of you experience with snowboarding with a prothesis
? I read about people who've managed to ski with TWO man made limbs, so I don't see why not for snowbaording and one amputation? Good luck - I'd be interested to hear how you get on. Tom High Wycombe UK |

The Mountainzone had a story about disabled boarders:
http://snowboard.mountainzone.com/20...tml/index.html if the link doesn't work go to mountainzone.com and snowboarding, then under the heading "boarderlines" you'll find it.

Has anyone of you experience with snowboarding with a prothesis ? Both Breckenridge and Winter Park have extensive adaptive skiing programs. I'm not sure on snowboards, never really seen them on the slopes but I probably wouldn't notice a prothesis anyway. Check out the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center http://www.boec.org. I'm sure you can find someone there to answer all your questions. snoig |

Has anyone of you experience with snowboarding with a prothesis ? I don't have any experience but I woudln't be surprised. I'm sure this has been around for quite some time but last season, I was at winterpark and they had blind skiers that followed the voice or beacon a guide was wearing in front of them. I'm continually amazed at the things that can be done under unusual circumstances. Good luck to you. -Bruce |

snowboarding with leg amputation
Ski, boot and leg
proceeded down the hill together, rapidly picking up speed in a manner that will be familiar to anybody who has seen a runaway ski or snowboard. A scarily dangerous situation, but pretty damn funny too. Extremely amusing tale..I only hope it's true and not a mountain myth! |
