I used to see him from time to time when i was a regular at hunter..

let me tell you - when you see a parapelegic who's a better skier than you are, its humbling.

I know that dude from Hunter..

That is amazing. There a regular few years back at Sunday River in a sitski. He was awesome. He used to do the Bust N burn mogul comp each spring. He would hit the jumps on the mogul course but didn't go a big as those guys.I haven't seen him in a while, but he was a great inspiration to me.

Thanks for posting that website! We have a kid on the ski team that I coach who uses a mono-ski and he's been wanting to hit park, I think this will be a great teaching tool for him. Thanks again!

Oh, and for those who ask how fast he is, lets just say he humbles me! Once he sets his edge, he's gone.

Not quite the same, but one of my racing coaches didn't have any arms. He was amazing in the slalom course. He had a sprecially designed helmet that deflected the gates so they didn't hit him in the face. Chucky was awesome and would kick any of our butts through the course. He actually was on the US disabled Ski Team.

Video gives a nice tour of some of the more popular terrain at Hunter. Loved the Hellgate kneecam. What a great place to ski!
