Slack country

Well the new snow from the last few days has pushed the values into the critical range and stuff was touchy today. Super touchy. So we searched out some powder skiing amongst the trees off RMR. The skiing was epic, deep and fast but radar was set to high danger. So we had some great turns but always wary of any change in terrain. Anything slightly convex and unsupported would slide and propagate a bit.  The trees were pretty good, 1000-2000 feet of good fall line with pillows all around. Daffys and 30 cm crown lines were the flavour of the day.

Yesterday the entire skiing community lost a great friend, CR Johnson. He died while skiing his home mountain of Squaw Valley. I’m one of the lucky ones who was blessed to witness his positivity in person and I’ve had the fortune of sharing some powder turns over the years. He will be missed but never [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/47/83/4783.jpeg[/IMG]

C.R. Johnson: 1983-2010

It's difficult to put into words what the world lost yesterday in the passing of C.R. Johnson, who at the age of 26 succumbed to injuries sustained in a fall at his home resort of Squaw Valley, CA. Beyond being a good friend to Redbullskiing.com and an amazing athlete, C.R. embodied what it meant to be a genuine person. I've never had the pleasure of knowing someone who was as friendly, approachable, humble, and positive as C.R. was. He was that rare kind of person who comes through your life and leaves you a better human being because of it. Our thoughts go out to C.R.'s family, friends, and the ski community as whole. We miss you terribly, C.R. Thank you for the time you granted us and the things you taught us we will never forget.
