Yesterday the ski community lost someone who showed nothing but love and passion for our sport. Tanner Olson and his cousin trevor were killed in a car accident on the way back from Mt. Hood yesterday. He was only going into the 8th Grade but shredded harder then most people I know. Love and Blessing go out to you boys and your family.

let try to stick away from blaming anyone, reports say speed nor alcohol was a factor. Just an awful awful accident. That picture reminds me off the funny shit he would always say, that kid had no boundary when speaking to ladies.

The roads we drive to get to the mountain can get hairy, especially with inexperienced or out of control drivers.

RIP. What a terrible way to go out. Vibes go out to his and his brother's family.

Tragic accidents like this are part of what bring this community even closer, if anyone is having a hard time with anything, we have your back, head over to the ladies men cult if you want to talk about it.

RIP &SIP Tanner, it sounds like you were a great kid, and an inspiration to those who knew you

I can't believe this. I was just at Hood shredding and this kid came up to me and was SO stoked, you could tell he was a genuine kid who just enjoyed skiing to the fullest and who could brighten everyone's day. I clicked on this video not knowing what it was about, and as soon as I saw Tanner's face my heart dropped. I seriously cannot believe this. Every morning I would show up to the mountain, he was already there lapping public park. I would say what's up and I could just tell he was flat out to stoked to be skiing. Wow, my condolences go out to his friends and family. With the little time I had the pleasure of knowing him, I could tell he was an awesome guy. Rest in Peace brotha. I will miss you.

He forgot his skis in Missoula and this was in Bozeman so he borrowed some skis I think. Either way, he still killed it.

Been puttin together little T's final edit the last two days. Alot of tears and alot of smiles. Most emotional piece of work I have ever put myself through making.

was watching a clip of him at a rail jam we held. He was so stoked he kept cutting the older kids in line, he couldnt wait to drop in again so he would just run right up and take a turn. Alot of people got frustrated by this but thats just how he was. stoked.

tanner's family and friends are fundraising for bmx park in memory of Tanner so all funds from tall tees and stickers will go to that.
^^ and no, last week i went to MHSSC with zach(mt_freeski) and tanner, and i just became good friends with them both. tanner was kinda like my little bro i never had, cuz he loved all the shit i loved and we stayed in the same room. I am just trying to help out ad much as possible
