Snowmass Angel: A Biography of Danielle Coulter Kindle Edition
Danielle's story begins with her love for the digital realm, spending countless hours on her computer, reveling in the joy of friendship, and engaging in the thrill of gaming—solitaire being her favored pastime. Beyond the screen, Danielle unveils her multifaceted passions, from immersing herself in captivating mysteries to crafting intricate plays and stories that spring from her vivid imagination.
But Danielle is no ordinary storyteller; she's an entertainer who discovered her love for acting at the tender age of five. From her first role as a pirate in "The Messing Room" to the transformative experiences at Challenge Aspen Music and Dance Camp, Danielle's journey takes an extraordinary turn when she becomes the pioneer of adaptive snowboarding.
The narrative unfolds as Danielle, fueled by determination, decides to embrace snowboarding at the age of nine, even in the absence of adaptive equipment. With her ski instructor, Rich Ganson, she pioneers the experimental adaptive snowboard, a PVC pipe creation that faced its first test catching too much air over a big jump—a testament to Danielle's resilience and unyielding spirit.
Witness the evolution of the adaptive snowboard as Danielle and Rich tirelessly refine it, making it more functional and adaptable to diverse needs. Their groundbreaking efforts catch the attention of Freedom Factory, a renowned adaptive equipment company, leading to the creation of a version accessible to individuals of all ages facing challenges.
As Danielle's story unfolds, the impact of her journey extends beyond the slopes. The adaptive snowboard becomes a beacon of hope and empowerment, playing a pivotal role in the rehabilitation of Iraqi war veterans, as documented in the acclaimed film "Beyond Iraq," celebrated at the Sundance Film Festival.
"Snowmass Angel" is more than a biography; it's a testament to the transformative power of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of dreams. Danielle Coulter's life is an inspiring odyssey that encourages readers to confront challenges head-on, embrace their uniqueness, and become the architects of their own destinies. Join Danielle as she becomes the Snowmass Angel, leaving an indelible mark on the world and inspiring others to spread their wings and fly.

About the author
My name is Danielle Coulter and I was born with Cerebral Palsy. At the age of 20, I decided to write my bio so people can hear my story. A lot of my friends have been putting a bug in my ear to write a book for years; one-day things just clicked into place and I started writing. My book is called If Dan Can Shred, You Can Too. I want to share my stories and adventures to inspire you to stand up and follow your dreams whether you have a disability or not.
I have overcome so many obstacles in my life, and now I have overcome the biggest one- typing. As I was growing up it was hard for me to read and write. When I was writing short stories in school I looked at a blank page for a long time because I was scared to misspell words, but I learned that it is okay to misspell words and to just keep typing away. I am happy that I got over that so I could share my story with you and have you hear my real voice. No obstacle is too big a wall; one day, you will break it down.
I am also the first adaptive snowboarder in the world, and I tell you this to say that if you have a dream that you want to make a reality, do it, and let no one stop you!
