"We were talking about our walker ski. It's a great piece of adaptive equipment to help people with disabilities enjoy the outdoors during the winter time. Basically, you can make this by yourself. Just get a few pieces of equipment, some screws, basically this is just some old like PCB piping that is just the appropriate size and we've attached it to an old pair of skis. I've done that on both sides, and then we've taken an old walker and have taken off the bottoms, and they just go into the skis right here, so you'll want to keep in mind to measure the skis for the appropriate length. Once they're in the skis we just have some nuts here that we screw closed like so, that way the walker's not going anywhere, and we'll do that to both sides. We have skis for both sides. So we'll set it up for both sides."
