Abstract

Salomon has launched the Adaptive Project, focusing on developing prosthetics for running, skiing, and snowboarding to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities in mountain sports. The project, originating from a collaboration with a triple amputee and Airbus, resulted in the creation of the Hopper prosthetic, tested by athletes like Jérôme Bernard and Boris Ghirardi. Salomon's efforts also include developing adaptive apparel and equipment, supporting disabled athletes through the Para-Team initiative, and providing financial aid through the Salomon Foundation to organizations like Level'Up, aiming to empower individuals with disabilities to engage in outdoor activities.
