As a first generation American, Alex Godowksk’s family were all into skiing, but he wanted to snowboard. While in high school, Alex was involved in a motorcycle accident, which caused him to lose his right foot. Getting back on the mountain with BOEC in Breckenridge helped get Alex out of the hole he felt he was in. Right then, Alex decided that his life had to evolve around para snowboarding somehow.
