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 Dualski is intended to people who have a lower limb disability. It allows skiing independently with remarkable performances and is much more than a biski.
