Jake’s return to skiing comes after 12 years off the snow and life altering injuries sustained during a 2004 Tour in Iraq, which resulted in the loss of his right leg and numerous other injuries.
Jake Schick has been featured in numerous documentaries and most recently played a role in Clint Eastwood’s, “American Sniper.” Which is based on the story of Schick’s close friend Chris Kyle.
