December 27, 2020 - 8:00 AM Vernon resident Michelle Salt has the words Life is tough darling, but so are you, tattooed on her arm. It s a message the 35-year-old tells herself on a regular basis and is apt for many people struggling during this COVID Christmas. It s also something she has proved is true, because in 2011, at just 26 years old, she lost her right leg. Eight months after a motorcycle accident that very nearly cost her her life, she jumped on a snowboard. She s now a retired two-time Paralympic snowboarder, having competed in both Sochi and South Korea, and has 14 World Cup podium finishes to her name. She also competed as a bikini-clad fitness model, spoken at a TEDx event and made over a hundred other inspirational speeches. She also recently advocated successfully to have Adaptive Wakesurfing recognized as an official sport.
