Adaptive Snowboard Slalom in Val Torta
13 February 09
February 13 will be an important day for Italian snowboard. For the first time in Italy an official sporting event open to adaptive snowboarders -riders with physical disabilities- will be held, on the occasion of the Italian Ski Championship for Disabled Athletes, hosted in Val Torta (province of Bergamo).
On the opening day, February 13, it is scheduled to take place a demonstration slalom race for adaptive, disabled, visually handicapped and hearing impaired snowboarders. A small step towards the inclusion of Adaptive Snowboarding into the Paralympic Winter Games.
If you know any adaptive riders, tell him or her about this event: their participation is important both for them and for the sport of snowboarding. The closing date for pre-registration is February, 2.
