What is the TetraSki?
The world’s only independent alpine ski for athletes with complex physical injury or illness.
Who uses the TetraSki?
A skier with limited strength and dexterity due to complex physical injury or illness can smoothly operate the TetraSki safely with a high degree of performance and independence. This is possible because of electric actuators on the TetraSki that provide independent turning and speed variability through the skier’s use of a joystick or sip and puff breath control. The TetraSki does not operate like a motor to push the ski forward or increase speed. The skier’s skills and choices alone determine how fast the ski goes.
The TetraSki was designed at the University of Utah, built by Tetradapt, and operated by TRAILS Adaptive with early and continued support by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation.
What is the TetraSki Express?
In March of 2022, adaptive skiers from across the U.S. competed in the world’s first TetraSki and Tessier Snow’Kart Competition — The Brian McKenna TetraSki Express.
Taking place at Powder Mountain Resort in Eden, Utah, the giant slalom race included manual, sip and puff, and joystick skiers.
Local and regional TetraSki races, like ASP’s race at Cannon, now take place across the country, culminating with the National Championships at Powder Mountain each March. This year’s The Brian McKenna TetraSki Express International Championship takes place on March 27, 2026. Our TetraSkiers race to qualify for this event in Utah!
