CR Johnson, by Nate Abbott

We miss you brother!  Jah Love, lots of laughs and endless pow!

Teaser: 
As news of C.R. Johnson’s tragic passing traveled, it sent shocks through our tight community, prompting unanswerable questions from his adoring family and friends; from those who are inspired by him, to those who simply heard his story, and shared his infectious love for skiing and life. This should not pose the question: Skiing or life? However, after a difficult procession of Tahoe heroes and loved ones passed, torrents of thoughts naturally overwhelm our psyches. We are among those for whom skiing IS life.
