Josh Dueck was an aspiring skier until a ski accident in 2004 left him in a wheelchair. But being a stubborn SOB, Josh made a conscious decision to not let his accident ruin his life. Within 1 year he was back on snow and kicking ass and taking names in the sport of Sit-skiing. Now he's decided to tackle the backcountry, and the steepest and wildest mountains in the world. The Freedom Chair is a film about that and it's pretty fricken good:
