A training course was held at a ski resort in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, to learn how to assist people with foot disabilities on chair skis from behind. Chair skis have a chair attached to the top of the skis, allowing people with leg disabilities to sit down and ski.
About 20 people, including people with disabilities and their families, participated in the seminar. A man in his 40s who participated with a child with a leg disability said, ``It was difficult to control it because it was going so fast''
