Meet The Athletes

Heidi began skiing at the age of 2, chasing her three older siblings through the ski areas of the Berkshires in New England. Possessing a great skill for the sport, she launched into competitive skiing at a young age, earning silver at the World Junior Slalom (1987) and receiving the Junior Alpine Skier of the Year award (1988).

As a 12-year veteran of the U.S. Ski Team (1985 to 1997), Heidi has many titles as a competitive ski racer: she holds six top-10 World Cup finishes to her credit, including a third place finish in 1994, and competed for gold during three Winter Olympics. Heidi was also the 1994 National Champion in Giant Slalom and finished her illustrious racing career with a third place finish in Giant Slalom at the U.S. Nationals in 1997. She moved to Park City, Utah in 1990 and has been skiing for Deer Valley Resort since 1995.

Chris Waddell is the winningest male Paralympic skier in history. He is also one of only a handful of athletes to win World Championships in both winter and summer sports. As a skier and a wheelchair racer, he always set his goals higher than just the top step of the podium. When he broke his back as a collegiate ski racer and then started to ski in a monoski, he realized that his performances gave a voice and an image to the disabled community, a largely forgotten segment of the population. In September of 2009 he became the first Paraplegic to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. The summit of the tallest mountain in Africa and his One Revolution Foundation he’s attempting to affect a social change in how we see ourselves and other people. Through an average person achieving an extraordinary feat, he hopes that we can all access our genius.
