Replying to @Paige Yes, I have special gloves made for my limb difference. 🎉😌 There have been seasons where I didn’t have adaptive equipment. I made do with a sleeve, a sock 🧦, and a lot of creativity or inner strength to weather the freezing cold winter months. Beyond the mountain, I’ve also lived many parts of my life both without and with custom gloves—learning to adapt, problem-solve, and appreciate every person who helped make daily life a little easier. From handmade gloves created by friends and family to the incredible support from @Burton Snowboards I carry endless gratitude. Every accommodation, no matter how big or small, has reminded me that inclusion can change someone’s entire experience. I hope to continue sharing this journey to raise awareness about adaptive accommodations and show that there is no one “right” way to move through the world. The body you’re given deserves to be seen, honored, celebrated, and supported. To everyone who has stood beside me and believed in creating spaces where differences belong, thank you. What a gift it is to be part of a community that sees adaptation not as limitation, but as possibility. 💛🏔️
