you would think a one year anniversary "rest in peace" thread for CR would garner more posts, but nobody knows who charles russell is, and that's a shame.

Wasnt even a skier last year when this happened, but CR is now the most inspirational person to me. Really wish i would have got the chance to meet him. Dont know any other people who would go through what he did and still come back for what he loved. SIP Charles Russel Johnson

Does it matter? Every single person ever mentioning him in my presence has only called him by his initials, it's not like some form of blasphemy if you simply don't care.

I never met CR, never spoke to him, never saw him IRL. Yet I miss him, so much...

You will always be remembered. Never forgotten.

Had an opportunity to check out the 4front SLC shop and white room facilities.
Where the crew is makin some sweet sticks and have the ability to test different layups and experiment a bit.
The most touching and coolest part of the tour was seeing this

Charles Russel Johnsons sister made and donated this and listening to the co owner talk about CR what he brought to the table, how his freak injury @ brighton changed him, and what a fkna class act this rippin skier was for me was both eye watering and uplifting.
thanks for the tour and keepin Charles Russel Johnsons spirit and legacy going

seeing him talk about how much he loved skiing in Like a Lion always reminds me why I ski.
