Blind Skiers?

[YunGBlood]

Last weekend I was skiing at 7springs (PA) and I noticed a group of people wearing bright orange vests. I look in the middle and one says "blind skier".

If you went blind would you still ski?

Listen to the Low Pressure Podcast. Its an awesome podcast thats really enjoyable to listen to if you love skiing..great guests and conversations.

That being said..they did an interview with a blind skier recently and it was really really good. I would give it a listen.

Yes. I've read some articles on this and it sounds like it is great fun for everyone involved. If I ever go blind I will do everything I can to get a guide to take me skiing.

they usually have a disabled Vets week at aspen and its actually pretty inspirational stuff to see the variety of disabilities that people have, and that they can still ski.

Hell yeah i would still ski
