"Race organizers are allowing her to use visual interpreters on snowmachines."

I assume the interpreters would be using wireless radio to communicate with her. This would be somewhat like 'spotters' during automotive race events.

If she's allowed, then ALL other competitors should have the same advantage of using spotters. It's only fair!...right?

A good point. The idea of the spotters would be to tell her "You're off the trail, coming to a cliff, better turn around before you kill yourself." But imagine a sighted sledder, with no spotters, in a blizzard -- they'd be in danger of getting lost, right? or going over the cliff, right? I guess it's tough luck to you if you have no handicapps.
