Abstract

This literature review lays the groundwork for the past, present, and future of adaptive snowsports. The paper acknowledges the design challenges of inclusivity and individualism for adaptive snowsports equipment. In addition to surveying literature on adaptive snowsports design, various design approaches and case studies are explored to expand the discussion about different perspectives and techniques for achieving design solutions that meet the needs of many people. By engaging in a literature review, the paper presents an initial interdisciplinary recommendation that could influence designers and researchers in contributing to adaptive snowsports solutions that address these challenges to ultimately meet the needs of many.
