Read the full details in an article on MSNBC - Small ski resorts go after big-time competitors.

The Ski Patroller from Visit Sun Valley on Vimeo. Smith Optics and Sun Valley Adaptive Sports are pleased to welcome Chris Waddell to tell his story of his historic journey to the roof of Africa in his film, One Revolution. The movie will be hosted at Sun Valley Opera House Wednesday November 16th, 2011 and starting at 6 pm. Here’s a little background. Chris Waddell was a promising young ski racer when in 1988, a skiing accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. Determined to not let it slow him down, Chris was back on the hill a year later riding a monoski and two years later was named to the US Disabled Ski Team. He is one of the most decorated male skiers in Paralympic history, winning 12 medals over 4 games and he spent 11 years on the US Team. He’s one of very few that have medaled in both the summer and winter games. In the fall of 2009, Chris became the first paraplegic to summit Mt Kilimanjaro unassisted. All proceeds from the evening will be split between Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and Chris’ non-profit – One Revolution. Additional tickets...
