After I was wounded I never thought that I would be able to ski again. I was so certain of this that I gave my skis away. After thousands of hours of phyiscal therapy and with help of numerous people I was finally able to ski again. This was all made by possible through God, family, friends, medical and physical terapy staff of the 1st Special Forces Group and Stride Adaptive Sports. My first day back on the mountain was captured in this documentary about adaptive sports. Below is the link for the documentary, I am feautured from 15:20 to 18:30.
