John Carlinโs Outdoors | Kinzie Dickman takes adaptive skiing to a new level
Kinzie Dickman was a standout athlete until a car crash cost her the use of her legs. She dropped into depression until she discovered adaptive sports at Snowshoe Resort in West Virginia. With a bit of practice, she has once again found the freedom to fly down the slopes. And now she is taking the sport to a new level as she tries for a spot on the Paralympic team. Not only has she discovered the freedom of the wind in her face, but she has found something within herself as she instructs others how to follow her path.
Snowshoe Mountain more ready than ever for opening day
SNOWSHOE, W.Va. โ Weโre still a week away from Thanksgiving but itโs already winter at one of the areaโs most popular destinations in West Virginia. Snowshoe Mountain is just two days away from opening day and after more than 250 hours of snowmaking, pumping in more than 75 million gallons of water to produce about 9 feet of snow, crews are better prepared than ever before. โIt really feels like youโre in another world,โ said Shawn Cassell, the public relations manager at Snowshoe Mountain. West Virginia. Workers at Snowshoe Mountain Resort have been working for months in preparation for Friday.
