I just got a text message. Apparently CR hit his head on a rock while skiing Headwall (Squaw) this morning and has passed away. I will keep this thread updated with details as I get them.

i cant believe this. only a couple years ago he was in a coma and had to relearn everything. even through all this he went back to skiing. he died doing what he loved, its a shame he was so young though. he will be greatly missed throughout all of the skiing community. RIP CR.
