Alex Schlopy has been walking a rough road since missing the olympics in 2014. Following an almost impossibly narrow miss, Schlopy turned to drugs and alchohol and began self medicating in an very unhealthy way. Following some suicide attempts, Schlopy hit rock bottom and has since been to rehab. Nowadays, he’s just trying to get back on skis and enjoy the sport he’s missed so much over the last couple years.
