Regarding snow skiing and sit-skis:  The Las Vegas Adaptive Sports and
Rec. Dept. travel to BrianHead, Utah, twice each winter with their own
sit-ski and about 10 skiers (but not me).  Their program is very
popular.  There are usually five staff to ten skiers.
     They also have their own sit water-ski (I did that once.) and a
-BIG- donated tow-boat.  There is a follow boat that trails behind the
skier and will help if the skier gets in trouble.
     My question:  Do you think USCPAA (Cerebral Palsy Athletic Asso.)
or USLASA (Les Autres Sports Asso.) will sanction either snow or water
skiing at a sports meet?  Or should I stick to sprint swimming?

Happy New Year....See ya in Oregon later this year.
