Art and everything outdoors have been Jim Harris’ lifelong passions as evidenced in his work as a photographer, videographer, illustrator, writer, and adventurer. The Salt Lake City native was involved in a ski accident on November 24th, 2014 causing fractures in his T7/8 and C2/3 vertebrae. The accident left him temporarily paralyzed at the T6 level, but a great attitude and work ethic paired with an amazing support system, Jim plans to put the setback behind him and return to the mountains where he belongs.
Jim is making a tremendous and well-documented recovery. At his time at Craig Hospital he accomplished his 3rd Belt Program goal of standing, which eventually helped Jim achieve his 4th milestone goal of walking with assistance. Jim is currently living in Tahoe City and working on his recovery at the CR Johnson Healing Center.
