7. SOUNDBITE (English) Pat Addabbo, executive director of Oregon Adaptive Sports:
"The group of Ukrainian veterans are learning to three track. And what that means is, they’re skiing on a single ski while holding two hand-held outriggers, so they’re literally leaving three tracks in the snow. The outriggers help them to balance and it helps them initiate and finish their turns, and it enables them to be independent on the mountain."
