On February 7, Life Rolls On Foundation traded surfboards for monoskis as the organization hosted its first They Will Ski Again event in Mammoth Lakes, CA. With varying degrees of mobility, individuals with spinal cord injury were treated to an exciting day on the slopes with expert instruction provided by Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra.
From areas as far as Texas, LRO participants weathered the snowy roads for excellent conditions on the mountain. “You have no idea what this means to us,” said Nicole Richards, wife of participant Brett Richards. “This is the first time Brett has been on the slopes since his injury and he’s doing amazing. Before his accident, he used to snowboard all the time. Now, he knows he can do it again.”
