Brock Crouch Back Recovering in California with Broken Back after Whistler Avalanche Ordeal

Doctors looking after Brock Crouch have instructed him to rest for at least the next few months, but he plans to be back to 100% fitness well ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022 where he hopes to compete in snowboard slopestyle.

Took my first steps yesterday.. The doctor came in this morning and said book your flights! Couldn’t thank these 2 people by my side for being there since the day this all took place!! See you soon Cali😎 Photo| @caseyfeitler

The 18-year-old southern California snowboarder and surfer suffered a broken back, loss of his front teeth and a ruptured pancreas after getting swept over an 80-foot cliff in an avalanche while filming with Absinthe Films in the Whistler backcountry on April 22. Brock was buried for a full five minutes before being dug out.

Brock spent nearly a week at Vancouver General Hospital but is back home in Carlsbad recovering and is definitely positive about his recovery and the future.
