Watch the First Adaptive Ski Descent of the Grand Teton in ‘Below the Clouds, Above the Knee’

"Adaptive sports are about adapting the sport to you, not you adapting to the sport." The 24-year old Chilean skier completed the first adaptive ski descent of the Ford-Stettner Couloir on the Grand Teton last winter. Born missing his leg below his knee, Vega has spent years figuring out how best to get in the backcountry on skis. After much trial and error, Vega found a system that worked for him and gave him confidence on skis. Below the Knee, Above the Clouds documents his successful descent of the classic line and achievement of a lifelong goal.
