Dave Turcotte broke into a grin as he removed his ski goggles. Clutching a pair of adapted ski poles that measure less than 12 inches, Turcotte waited to be lifted from a sit-ski into his wheelchair. He then wheeled inside Lost Valley ski area’s lodge to receive his award for the season, a measure of his success as a disabled skier using specially adapted equipment.
