resistance to persistence

Earlier this week there was a massive avalanche at Revelstoke, BC. I didn’t think much of it. The night before last, I heard the name of one of the people who died in it. None other than Craig Kelly, the snowboarding superstar. Craig dominated the snowboard scene in the early 90s, winning 4 world championships, amongst other titles. Many people have called him the Michael Jordan or Tony Hawk of snowboarding. I agree. I’ve never seen anyone ride big mountain so smoothly and flow all the way down. He gave up competing to ride big mountain and back country terrain. The true soul of where snowboarding lies. A legend in snowboarding lost.
