Right on, glad you guys are digging it. I feel blessed that the training/prep worked out with my work/life schedule.
Feel free to share with your friends, I heard there's some incentive if it reaches 20k views on YouTube.

To say this is amazing is an understatement. It goes to show that are mental limits far outweigh are physical limitations. I am truly amazed by the power of our minds.

Awesome! He always has such an awesome attitude on the hill. I remember Mini Comish melting down next to his truck over a standard 3yr old "issue" as we were all gearing up to go skiing. He gave Mini Comish a thumbs up and that was pretty much the end of that meltdown.
Congrats! Hugely inspirational.He who has the most fun wins!

Just goes to show, If you put your mind to it you can do ANYTHING!!!
When asked how it feels to always ski the first line, the guide replied, it's kinda like peeing your pants, everyone knows you did it, but only you know how good it feels!!!!

Stashing this video away to remind me anything is possible.
I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.

All I kept thinking was why doesn't someone give him some water. Cool he set a goal and achieved it. A couple of Russians hauled themselves up Denali this way. I don't know if they got a prize for 20.000 views on youtube.
