Our equipment

We have a growing pool of equipment that can be used by beginners and experienced skiers alike. This pool of equipment will be further expanded in the future.

 

The Bi-Unique is used by almost all adaptive programmes around the world. It has set the standard for beginner sit skis and gives you the ability to ski as independently as your experience and ability allows! With the lowest centre of gravity of any sit ski on the market, the Bi-Unique is easy to manoeuvre even for high-level injuries. The Bi-Unique was developed over 20 years ago and continues to be a resilient, versatile and durable bi-ski.

 

The Tessier Tempo monoski, also called the ‘Tempo Uniski’, is a full-suspension sit-ski designed for people with lower limb disabilities, allowing them to ski independently and with remarkable performance. It has a frame geometry and shock absorbers that make skiing easy and suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers, including options for recreational skiing, racing and freeride activities, while providing excellent handling and stability on the slopes. 

Features:

  • Full-suspension frame for smooth skiing 
  • Designed for easy handling and fast learning curve 
  • Adjustable shock absorbers for customised performance 
  • Gas struts for support when boarding the chairlift

A Tessier Snow'Kart is a specialised adaptive ski device designed for people with limited upper body strength or balance problems. It allows them to ski independently by controlling the speed with hand levers while sitting on a stable frame with a low centre of gravity, making it ideal for people who cannot use conventional sit skis due to lack of upper limb coordination or strength. 

Features:

  • Easy Drive Kit: Enables operation with just one hand. 
  • Wide frame and low centre of gravity: Ensures stability on the piste. 
  • Hand-operated levers: For controlling speed and direction.
