MISSING: Charlie Ager.

It seemed odd and unusual when Charlie Ager wasn't listed to have a seat in the cat at the freshly relocated Orage Masters that will take place this year at the Retallack lodge. This is definitely some terrain that he is very apt to ride; and if anyone can party hard, Charlie would appear to be the man. With these credentials taken into consideration it's hard to see why he wouldn't get the chance to throw down.

This article gave reasonable explanation to the scenario though:

http://www.davepires.com/charley-ager/

It made sense, he's always seemed to be off the grid, a little Jason Bourne like. Then came a few posts from Orage's Facbook and made me raise my eyebrows...

February 5th

HAS ANYONE SEEN CHARLEY AGER? Radio silence from the Ager camp lately. Strange, mysterious. Has he been abducted, is he still in BC? Does anyone have news on Gnarly Charley?

February 10th

https://www.facebook.com/Orage/posts/270434173114726?notif_t=notify_me

We're sad to announce that Ager is still missing. If you can help us find him back you'll be rewarded! Leftover edit of this legendary man.

SURELY, this community has the resources to track down the illusive Mr. Ager... If anyone get's a lead, definitely hit up the Orage FB page, because it sounds like they've got something to offer up for your info!

https://www.facebook.com/Orage

Good luck with it, and hopefully we'll get him reconnected with the good crew that can't seem to find him. I'm sure some sick things will come of it!

Ribss.I hear if you smoke 5 massive blunts and click your Hellbents together 3 times then Gnarly Charlie will appear. I think its just an old legend though.

Clearly the dude doesn't ski anymore :(
My guess is that he is either a lumberjack, drilling in the Canadian oil fields, deep sea fishing in the Beaufort sea... some burly shit like that.

I cant believe this but 6 years on I have to say that our sport has regressed. Nobody is doing this caliber of shit anymore. Switch pow landings and takeoffs nowadays are childs play compared to what Ager brought.https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/904539/K2-SKEEZE-2012-Charley-Ager-Segment

Think this thread needs stickied until we figure out where he is. My guess is hes living off the grid doing the same burly shit.

Everyone is focusing on park these days, and the progression being made there is insane. In terms of the most progressive pow skier nowadays, I'd probably give it to nick mcnutt, but there are other figures in there too, spriggs to name one, durtschi seems to have mellowed out a bit, but hes thrown a dub 10 over Chad's, but I have yet to see any of them drop a whole pillow line switch like ager did

Seriously in shock that no one in the ski industry has any tabs on the whereabouts of this man... Usually there is some type of clue to go off of.. Either someone knows the truth and isn't speaking up, or Charlie is really a wild bigfoot type creature, mythical in nature

Was hoping he'd go into a little more detail about his decision to move away from whistler but was a great podcast nonetheless. Thank you for finally solving the mystery of Gnarly Charley's whereabouts. Only took 5 years.
