After a series of medical procedures the decision was made to amputate his left leg below the knee. Just three months later Gabel returned to his snowboard.
Four years ago Gabel started training with the National Ability Centre in Utah. In his first international competition he reached the podium with a third place. In 2012 Gabel won the ESPN Winter X Games. Gabel also won the 2013 IPC Snowboarding World Cup event in Maribor.
