Marc-Andre Beliveau Paralyzed in a Ski Accident

One of the funniest and happiest skiers I've ever known has suffered a serious accident and now finds himself changed forever. Marc-Andre Belliveau was skiing in British Columbia when he lost his line due to poor visibility and fell down the mountain impacting jagged rocks which left him with fractured spine and spinal cord damage. He will no longer have use of his legs - a serious blow for anyone but more impactful when skiing is your career.

Marc blew onto the ski world scene in Volume films with a flare for mixing backcountry lines with gap jumps and urban jib. He's been featured in TGR films and has skied all over the world.

It's been said that he continues to make jokes, laugh and sing while recovering in the hospital in Vancouver. Our thoughts go out to you Marc. Up up up!

If you'd like to donate to help Marc:
StandStrongAgain.org is pleased to announce that current financial donations and pledges will be dedicated to help cover the costs of helping Marc adjust to his life after the accident. The adjustment costs are significant and include medical expenses, physical therapy and modifications to his house to make it wheelchair accessible, to name a few.
