Still the same David.

David Schlicht

David grew up in Steamboat Springs and loved to be outdoors, whether it was for hiking, fishing, hunting or skiing. After a ski-training accident, David was faced with a choice: continue to have surgeries that may or may not lead him back to his normal life, or get a below-the-knee amputation that would have him walking again in weeks. For David, losing his leg was just a stop along the way.

Still the same David

Watch David Schlicht’s story in “Still the Same David.” Growing up in Steamboat Springs, David did all the things mountain kids do. After he lost his leg in a ski-training accident, he learned nothing needed to change.
