Mono Skier X

Skier-Cross, SuperPipe, SnoCross and Slopestyle….These familiar Winter X favorites are trumped by this year’s pioneering footage of Mono Skier X. Three years ago, Mono Skier X came on the scene as the first competitive event for disabled athletes featured at the Winter X Games. Since then, mono skiers have pushed the sport to new extremes, taking on expert terrain while strapped into molded bucket seats that are perfectly balanced on single skis. Courageous adaptive competitors are featured here taking on racecourses carved for able-bodied athletes – at full speed and without fear. With massive jumps and cutthroat turns at every angle, this incredible athletic display pushes the limits of adaptive skiing, making this event one of the most daunting action sports competitions out there. This piece is a true inspiration to athletes everywhere, showing us all that, “if there’s nothing you can do about it…you either get busy living, or you get busy dying.”
