The 4frnt team, and the ski world in general suffered a big loss in the way too early departure of CR Johnson on the 24th of February. CR's approach to the ski industry has inspired many, me included, and his come-back after the head injury in 2005 showed us all that nothing is impossible as long as you've got passion and determination in your life.

My thoughts goes first and foremost out to his family and friends in Squaw Valley. But also to the whole skiing community, who has lost one of the most inspiring and colorful contender.

RIP CRJ
