One of my Idols has passed away this afternoon. FULL STORY HERE
After his amazing come back from the head injury back in 2005 being told he wouldn't ski again. His segments truly inspired me as to why we keep pushing our limits in skiing. He had an amazing comeback on the competition scene in January coming 2nd in the red bull linecatcher.
This is the second legendary skier Squaw Valley has lost in under a year. The first being Shane McConkey last year in March. RIP. A friend of CR's wrote this eulogy for him: -CR Eulogy-
"Only the things that you truly love will you pursue with that energy and for me my family, my friends, and skiing, that's it for me, that's my life. The joy i get from skiing, that's worth dying for."- CR Johnson
