Aims alum, Brittani Coury, began snowboarding at the age of 13. In 2003, she was injured while snowboarding and continued to have problems with the injured ankle for years following. After multiple operations, Brittani had her leg amputated below the knee in 2011.

She has participated in many World Cup races, earning a Bronze medal in banked slalom and had several Silver medal finishes in snowboard cross. At the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, Brittani earned a silver medal in the banked slalom. 

In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Brittani is a registered EMT and nurse supervisor and volunteered to care for patients in the COVID-19 ward of the Salt Lake City Hospital, where she works in between training and competing in snowboarding.
