U.S. Army Veteran Andrew Carpenter Veteran poses for a photo while attending the 40th anniversary Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass Village, Colorado, April 7, 2026. Carpenter was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that tricks the body’s immune system into attacking its own nerves. During his fifth consecutive trip to “Miracle Mountain,” Carpenter pushed for more independence by training on a mono ski – which is a single, wide ski that allows the rider to position both feet side-by-side and face forward while maneuvering downhill.
