Eski - the comback kid...

[dmc]

5 years ago our own Eski suffered a stroke... Because of it he suffers vertigo and cannot hear out of one ear...

His comeback has been amazing.. Dudes retired... Skis every damn day.. And lives life like nobody I know...

GO ESKI!!! YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION!!!

 

[Greg]

I've only met him a couple times and never had the chance to chat with him much, but Eski seems like a great guy.

 

[SkiDork]

WOW!... I didn't know what was the cause of the hearing and vertigo problems...

You go ED!!!!!

Met him and was a gentleman and fun to hang with.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Does he still post on here???

 

[Vortex]

He is around. I see him music threads sometimes. More during ski season.

I met him a couple years ago for a few runs as well and had the same impression. Great that he can still ski so well.

 

[bvibert]

Wow! That's awesome! Very inspirational.

Damn, and I thought he was unsociable when he didn't answer me a few times He's cool, but guess that comes with being Polish.

Eski's last run down Mt. Snow on closing day, 2008.

What the photo doesn't show very well is that at this point it's a lot like skiing a giant 7-11 Slurpee run.

I was Mister Moose's ski date that day. Ms Moose was at the bottom of the hill with Radar the wonder dawg. Eski certainly lives life to the max.

thanks guys!

for those of you that don't know, it happened out of nowhere, woke up and hit the floor ... after tons of testing, they figured it was a clot from an old injury that found it's way to my brain ... freaky for sure, as I never had any health issues prior ... my goal throughout therapy was to get on skis again, but I had to master walking first, I'm still not so great at that as my friends can attest to

the last couple of years my goal became to ski my age in days, now that I've retired, I want to double it ... life is what we make of it, I try to make mine happy ... I'll never be a great skier, but I ski with a smile no matter what ... enjoy every day, because like it or not, they're numbered

Also he plays a mean harmonica, one of my all time fave instruments.

Ed skis alot better than he did before the stroke which is the most amazing thing of all.

Eski is one of my heros of the snow.
