R.I.P CR Johnson! a constant source of inspiration

Today the skiing community suffered a severe loss. Skiing pioner CR Johnson passed away in a skiing accident in Squaw Valley, CA this afternoon. CR sustained a severe headinjury five years ago, after 10 days in a coma he relearned how to walk, talk and ski. Skiing would never be the same for him, but long and hard work payed of and he got back out there, where he belonged. Today CR johnson got cought up on rocks after dropping a clif in Squaw Valley. He fell and hit his neck and head. Allthough he was wearing a helmet and ski patrolers and medical personel arrived to the scene within minutes CR succombed to his injuries. CR has inspired tons of skiiers all over, including me. We hope you're in a better place now and that you'll forever find deep snow to shredd!

Our thoughts and prayers are with his famaly and friends! you'll be sorely missed CR...

Much love from the TPP Crew
