Trevor Kennison Returns to the Backcountry

If there was one phrase to describe Trevor Kennison, it would be ‘doesn’t give up.’ Paralyzed from the waist down in a snowboard accident while riding Vail Pass, Kennsion didn’t think he’d get to experience snowsports again. After rehabbing at Craig Hospital, his sister convinced him to give sit-skiing a try. Since then, Kennison has made waves in the ski community as not only an incredible athlete, but a true bright spot in the sport. Kennison’s unbeatable style and attitude caught the eye of filmmaker Josh Berman. Berman had a plan to get Kennison back into the backcountry for a film about his journey. While Kennison hadn’t been into the backcountry since his accident, his stoke was high. Since his first day back, Kennison continues to make leaps in his career, including sending Jackson Hole’s formidable Corbet’s Couloir during the annual King’s and Queen’s competition. Watch Day 1- the start of a bigger project, and a true showcase of Kennison’s talent, perseverance, and contagious smile.
