Winter is stunning, but for this sport you cannot count only on mother nature.
It takes two freezing weeks and a lot of work to build a full set of snowboard courses.
Para snowboard competition includes male and female athletes with a physical impairment such as spinal injury, cerebral palsy and amputation.
At Beijing 2022, for the first time in the Games, competitions will have up to 4 athletes snowboarding at the same time.
In the past, the limit was 2 athletes.
And you might be wondering "how amputee athletes can snowboard if it's already pretty difficult to stand on a board even with both legs?" .
Many para snowboarders use a special prosthesis to ride.
In the past, there were few prosthesis suited specially for snow sports.
Paralympic snowboard champion Mike Schultz founded a company to solve this problem.
A legend on and off the slopes!
