Cherish what you have: Lethbridge teen who survived skiing accident shares her story
LETHBRIDGE, AB – What started off as a normal day on the slopes for Marissa Wong turned into something much different.
The 17-year-old went skiing with her 18-year-old sister and a friend at Castle Mountain Resort on Wednesday, February 17. That morning, Wong was involved in a potentially life-threatening accident.
“I kind of had a feeling something was going to happen, like, not as serious as what did happen,” she told Lethbridge News Now.
“I was getting ready [and] some friends came up that I haven’t seen in a while. We began talking and I was a little distracted getting ready.”
