Event sets out to prove that mobility or vision challenges don’t preclude X-C skiing

Even if you don’t have full use of all your limbs, or you have vision issues, you can still cross-country ski.

This Sunday between 12:00 and 2:00pm, Porcupine Ski Runners have “Try It Day”.

President Christine Dorion says it features specialized equipment and people who can show you how to use it.

“We’re going to try to bring as much (equipment) as we can, so people can try it, at least try it,” she says.  That equipment includes some that allows you to sit or kneel.

Dorion’s not worried that because of the mild weather, there won’t be anywhere to stage the event.

“We’ll make it work, even if it’s just the stadium area. We’ll make sure that there’s at least tracks, even if I’ve got to shovel a little bit.”
