Emily sits down with her hill coach Ethan Rigby. Ethan is a college student who has been volunteering his time to teach the visually impaired and others with disabilities how to snowboard. He is part of an organization called Canadian Adaptive Snow Sports. You can find them at https://www.cads.ski Their goal is To give people living with disabilities the opportunity to eliminate barriers that have prevented them from experiencing the Joy and Freedom of Snow sports. I think it:s cool that part of Ethan:s motivation for teaching snowboarding is because he himself lives with ADHD and said he stutters some. He talked about developing trust between the coach and trainee. He shared his thoughts prior to working with Emily. They shared some favorite memories. And they discussed potential future adventures. You can really feel his passion for the work. Not only when talking about Emily, but in speaking of a new student he has been working with. They touched upon the difficulties of getting on and off of a ski lift when disabled. And I hope to get a better explanation of that in the future. I loved his honesty especially when asked about his training out of season. I think you will be educated, entertained, and inspired by their conversation.
