As I read the CRJ tribute in the new Powder magazine, i was thinking of all the great quotes he has ever said. one of his more famous ones "I feel it's most important to keep it real and enjoy each moment, you know, take advantage of every opportunity life provides, because who knows what tomorrow may bring....Only the things that you truly love will you pursue with that energy, and for me my family, my friends, and skiing, that's it for me, that's my life. The joy I get from skiing...that's worth dying for...." Seeing if we can make a list of all the great things one of the most amazing skiers has said.

"Doing tricks off cliffs this year didn't come back to me nearly as easy as i thought it would, but It's to easy to give up things that are hard to accomplish, so i kept trying, kept trying, and definetly keep trying until i was able to accomplish that again" from "Seven Sunny Days", when CR talks about his recovery after injury

RIP

LIVE YOUR LIFE, LOVE YOUR LIFE. DON'T REGRET... LIVE, LEARN, AND MOVE FORWARD POSITIVELY.

"It will take a little bit of time. Its going to take a lot of effort, a lot of energy. And I'll give it that. I have to, I have to because that is what I want for my life and what I want with my life I'm willing to work for and what I'm willing to work for I'm definatly willing to achieve."


"Its too easy too give up in the things that are hard to accomplish"

"Every icy day, every deep pow day… EVERY day is a blessing. When we can appreciate every experience for all that it is, we will never need nor want more."

"Only the things that you truly love will you pursue with that energy, and for me my family, my friends, and skiing, that's it for me, that's my life. The joy I get from skiing...that's worth dying for." - R.I.P. CR Johnson

Yeah, if you haven't gotten a chance yet definitely pick up a copy of the latest Powder. The article about CR was really well done.
