With the Disabled races of the world ascending on Kimberley for the Canadian Norams (North American Cups) the only downhill events to take place this year and two Super Gs the Kimberley ski patrol wanted to make sure that they were up to date on their safety procedures and be prepared for all the sit skiers! Been a regular for the last couple of years I volunteered myself to be thrown off the lift using their evac straps to make sure they could get us off the lift in case of a breakdown while we were still on it. We waited until the ski hill was shut then set up the lift ourselves. The whole experience was a lot smoother than I anticipated and although satisfying my urge to jump of the lift early every time I was on it the best bit was to have the whole hill to myself for the ski down! Check out how it all worked on the video.
