Wow sorry Guys that one got away on me, caught knapping there, thanks Artie for helping me out there, and you're right Artie it is getting harder to find a nice quite spot these days! And no Masterfabr I haven't had the pleasure of skiing, I always wanted to though just never got around to it, and not too long ago I hit by a drunk driver while attending a fatal accident, stuffed my legs, they didn't think I'd walk again but I have a go.. Oh and I'm still alive and any day above ground is a good one! Thanks Engineer, I think Artie has answered all questions pretty well..

Here in the US we have handicap ski resorts or at least a portion of the resort for them.Winter Park is the national handicap ski team training place.You'd be AMAZED how good those guys are with one leg or paralyzed from the waist down are.It will truly humble a person to see these people in action.

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

WHen you see a one legged skiier shooting a double black chute or bump run you are truly amazed. I admire those that refuse to be kept down.
