Josh represented Canada in four events at the recent Winter Paralympics in Sochi, earning a gold medal in the Men’s Super Combined and a silver medal in the Men’s Downhill sit-ski event. He was also Canada’s flag bearer at the closing ceremonies. In 2004 he was preparing the athletes for a competition when he went too fast down a demonstration jump. Overshooting the landing hill, he dropped 100 feet, severing his spine. At the age of 23, Josh was paralyzed from the waist down. The emergency room doctor provided Josh with a bit of hope with his prediction that Josh would “rock the world in a wheelchair and be back on the mountain riding a sit-ski before you know it.” Nine months after his fall, Josh was back on the ski hill. Since then, Josh has become one of the best skiers of his time.
Registration deadline: Friday, April 25, 2014. Fill out the registration form now for this amazing event.
