Come Prepared to Perform

Bring your own gear. Race Camp athletes are responsible for providing their own equipment, including skis, snowboards, adaptive devices, prosthetics, and VI bibs. This ensures you’re training with gear that’s properly fitted and familiar, maximizing your performance and safety throughout the week.

Equipment Guidelines

Use What You Know: Train with equipment you’ve tested and are comfortable using. Ski Spec isn’t the time to break in new or unfitted gear—stick with what works for your best performance.

Proper Fit Matters: All equipment, devices, and prosthetics should be professionally fitted and race-ready before you arrive.

Don’t Have Your Own Equipment?

Plan ahead for success. If you don’t own racing equipment or can’t transport it to Colorado, connect with these resources well before the event:

• Contact your local adaptive sports program for rental recommendations
• Connect with Race Camp Director Jess Pullar at jpullar@moveunitedsport.org for guidance

Make arrangements early to ensure you have properly fitted, tested equipment ready for your competitive training experience.
