DAY 1: Trevor Kennison returns to the backcountry as an adaptive athlete

So, it’s the New Year, and the snow has been around for a while now. 

Many of you have spent at least a handful of days on the snow, and the keen beans probably have a good 30 days under their skis already. It’s been fun so far, to say the least.
