My Nonprofit Reviews

I have loved skiing since I was a child. I started racing in high school, then joined my school's team in college. I broke my back on the last day of a winter training training trip, and am now paralyzed from the chest down.

Five and a half years later, I have never been able to replace the level of connection I felt with the world on skis. I have been trying to learn how to sit ski since the winter after my injury, but have consistently had issues getting rental equipment to provide the level of support I need. High Fives is now empowering me to get my own monoski that will provide me the level of support I need and allow me to make any necessary personalized adjustments, and thereby remove the limitations on my progress imposed by equipment. I am absolutely stoked to get out this winter and start working my way back to that feeling I love, and to appreciate the beauty and joy of snow again!
