Kinzie's Story

"IT'S AN
AMAZING
FEELING"

Snowboarding has always been at the heart of Kinzie’s life. But after a car accident left her without the use of her legs, everything changed. Through it all, she was determined to find her way back to the mountain.

With adaptive equipment and coaching, Kinzie returned to the slopes within months.

Today, she’s hitting 35-foot gap jumps on a sit ski and pushing herself further than ever before. She races competitively with the NSCD Competition Center Team and even teaches others with disabilities how to sit ski as one of our instructors.

“To be able to help someone in the same position I was once in is an amazing feeling,” says Kinzie.

Kinzie’s journey is just one of thousands of stories made possible through the power of adaptive recreation.
