1. A monoski is a type of sit ski using one ski with a mountain bike type suspension, most typically used independently by wheelchair users. The person uses a set of outriggers, which resemble short poles with small skis on them in place of typical baskets used by able-bodied skiers. The outriggers are used to initiate turns and for stability, however turning and balance is primarily accomplished through the single ski mounted to their monoski.
2. A type of wide ski where two alpine ski bindings are placed side by side. They are wide like a snowboard, but the person faces forward booted in with alpine ski boots.

Difability is a portmanteau, a contraction of sorts, of differing and ability, which more accurately and politely describes difabled people. Disability and disabled are outdated derogatory terms, literally meaning unable and inability, which are both not only inaccurate, but severely insulting.
