I know this wont mean anything to most of you but I am going to write this thread anyway. My friend Joel McCormick recently passed away from brain cancer. Last season his whole left side of his body went numb while he was driving home from Vail. He called his brother to take him to the hospital. They found a tumor in his brain. He went into surgery to remove the tumor. At the time the surgery seemed to be a success. After the surgery for no apparent reason he went brain dead. The doctors kept him alive long enough for friends and family to say their goodbyes. He was a great man. He was the co owner of Pow Pow productions which produced the 16mm film unknown as well as skitv.com. He was a main cinematographer in some Poor Boyz movies including Propaganda and Happy Dayz. He also did a feature on Steele Spence that will be on sessions 1242. Joel was living the dream. He started the production company right out of High School. He spent his life doing what he truly enjoyed. Joel I love you man. His memory will also live on. I just needed to vent a little check out these websites

when good people like him die, words cannot express what it is. it just is.

Last night was his funeral. It was good for closure. Johnny DeCesare and JP Auclair said a few words about Joel. Steel Spence sent someone to speak on his behalf because he was in a comp in Australia. They showed a imax presention of his film work. It is amazing the impact he had on freeskiing. He made unknown which was the first movie for boyd easly, kristi leskenin, and Steele Spence. He basically started Steeles freeskiing career. They showed various footage he shot for movies (Propaganda, Happy Dayz ect) commercials, and tv shows ( fox sports networks ski tv signature series ect). They also showed Steeles Spences section in Ready Fire Aim which he finished the day before he died. Joel made an impact on many lifes including mine. His memory will live on forever. You can watch some of the work he did for ski tv on this site:

Its so sad that people can suffer tragedies like this when they have so much going for them, and they mean so much to so many people. But take consolation in the fact that he probably lived more in his shortened life than a lot of people will ever live. Rest in peace.
