I'm Not Dead Yet - Amanda Timm

Amanda Timm knows you’re naked underneath your clothes. Written across the protective casing of her sit-monoski frame, she hopes these words will evoke a laugh or a smile out of the ski community when you run into her at the resorts.
February 6th, 2021 marked the 10 year anniversary of an accident that would change her life. ⁠At just 17-years-old while competing in the Fernie Junior Big Mountain Freeski Competition, she came off a cliff and caught an edge that sent her cartwheeling into a tree. But that didn’t stop her. Paralyzed from the chest down with a T5/T6 spinal cord injury, she⁠ started sit-skiing just 10 months later with the help of Rocky Mountain Adaptive Sports and their program at Banff Sunshine Village.
"Sometimes you’re dealt a pretty crappy set of cards and you have the option of choosing to live or throwing away what you have left. I can happily say I never take a day for granted. I LOVE everything I do, everything I have, and of course, standing out! I can’t believe it’s been 10 fricken years and I'M NOT DEAD YET!"
