Since I can remember skiing as engulfed my life.

Inspiration, and motivation came from relentlessly watching ski films.

I used to watch Tanner and CR?s segments repeatedly over and over?

Every year it was a ?What?s next??

Undoubtedly CR has paved a path for all of us involved in the ski industry.

I never knew CR on a personal level before his injury.

He wasn?t a good coach at all.

Like any skier on his level, he wasn?t?

More recently CR was introduced to the 4frnt team.

Anyway, I had no clue as to what CR?s plans were prior to his injury.

I saw the development of his ski at the office.

We spent a day at PC shredding park.

CR was positive, no doubt about that, yet very experienced.

We spent a week together in Colorado for a 4frnt team trip.

He brought awareness to the life I?ve chosen to take part in.

CR had seen it all, the top, the bottom and everything between.

I can?t thank him enough for his words of wisdom and willingness to share them.

Like a crazy path was laid for myself by myself without ever really having any intention of doing.

I feel blessed to have had time with him.

Our sport is forever grateful for everything that CR did for us.

!REST IN PEACE LION!
