Six months to the day after his spine-wrenching crash at the U.S. Freestyle Selections, Jake Hickman's skis hardly touched the snow as he floated down the slopes at Mt. Bachelor, an elated teen.
“The first day back, I felt like the biggest gaper ever,” said Hickman, joking about the experience in Tahoe tourist terms. “But then the second day everything came back, and the third day I was skiing like 70 percent of what I used to be. I felt really good.”
