My name's Trevor Jennison and if
no one knew what my story was,
I was a plumber and I love snowboarding
and I broke my back and suffered
a spinal cord snowboarding and now
I am a professional set skier.
My name is Josh Berman.
I am a filmmaker.
I started a company called
level 125 years ago almost,
and I've spent the bulk of my career
working in snow Sports and action
sports and outdoor filmmaking.
My buddy was like, come on, get up,
man. And you know, I couldn't get up. And
then he was like, come on,
get up, man. And I looked down
and I was like, I can't move.
Craig Hospital gave me all the tools to
learn how to transfer into my wheelchair,
learn how to drive my own car,
learn how to get into an airplane.
They taught me just to live life on my own.
I knew that you could ski,
but I respected the fact that,
you know, I was like, alright, cool.
That's just something I didn't want to do at
the time I was playing playing basketball.
Absolutely loved it.
I would drive 4 hours, 3 hours down here to.
Go play basketball.
But once I got back on the snow,
I fell back in love with it and my
whole thing was going back to Vail Pass.
I wrote all these goals and going
back to Vail Pass the, you know,
pull back, flip.
Trevor came to me with this amazing
idea to return to the site of
his accident and the Vail Pass,
Colorado Backcountry and do
a backflip in his sit ski.
And I was immediately taken,
not only by by the story,
by the concept of of returning
to a place that has, you know,
taken so much away from you.
Trevor's charisma, Trevor's smile,
Trevor's personality.
Trevors.
Zest for life immediately captivated
me. And just to go back to that spot,
I don't know, it was just for
accepting my injury and just
having closure with that spot.
And I'm not. I'm not mad at that spot.
I'm very thankful that spot happened.
I'm very thankful my injury happened
because I wouldn't be where I am today.
Do this voice.
This one was definitely the most
extreme and so I just took everything
I was doing up to that point and.
That day just everything lined up perfect.
I was scared, but at the same time
it was just something I really,
really wanted to do from like
deep down and bottom of my heart.
Let's go.
And so Barry Corbett was shooting a ski
film outside of Aspen, Co in May of 1968.
He was shooting out of a helicopter pilot,
was having a tough time seeing the
undulations of the terrain, came in too low,
misjudged his altitude, and crashed.
Barry ended up being
ejected from the helicopter.
Barely survived some massive
internal injuries where he was told
that he would never walk again.
And that happened 50 years before Trevor
shows up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,
and airs into Barry's namesake kuwar,
the Corbetts Kuwar,
and landed in the public consciousness.
So thankful to be on this journey
and to have a purpose in life,
to give hope back to people.
Yeah, it's crazy. We
all have struggles.
We all have really bad things that
happen to us on a regular basis.
Whether turning tragedy
into opportunity is just
such a compelling thing and.
And Trevor illustrates
that in all the best ways.
So yeah, everyone has
so many physical mental challenges,
able body or not.
So when they leave that theater,
I want them to just be able to smile
and have some hope for my story and
they can shed some light on just if
they're going through a tough time
and turning negative into a positive.
That's what I hope happens.
Trevor's got much more in his repertoire.
The film is called Full Circle.
It's making the rounds at the film
festivals up next Sonoma later this month,
and then they'll be doing a premiere
here in what a story to tell,
what a way to tell it.
Yeah, and the connections between two
men decades apart and Craig Hospital
and their achievements now. Love it.
It's a great story.
