i just want to say, any blindskiers, or skiers missing a limb, they are the best ones out there. the have the biggest balls, and the ones who hits jumps are true gods. i just want to show my respect for you guys by leaving this post, because if i ever lost my sight or a limb, i would probably be too much of an asshole to want to do anything.

yeah. i'm bored.

i don't mean to be rude, but i know a couple guys on the candain team who are missing a leg and they would kick your asses even mine in a slalom course, heck even on a regular run they would work everyone, there so crazy.

Ever tried skiing blindfoilded well having someone saying where to go? it's not fun, and quite scary. try it some time

DOing switch shit of the jump or pipe is sorta like being blind, u gotta go by feel.

my dad hurt his leg when he was like 19 and learned to ski with one ski. he says bumps are easier with one ski. people who ski disabled are awesome regardless

last year i tought a kid with autism to ski. i kid you not, it was one of the best experiances of my life. as soon as he was comfortable on his skis he wanted to ride the park all day. sure he wasn't hittin the jumps but he was ridin the tranny in the pipe and takin the rollers pretty damn fast for a kid his age. if you get the chance to teach handicapped kids to ski, do it, it's alot of fun!
