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!
