Just thought i would share this. On opening day for at least one run have Shane McConkey, Arne Backstrom, CR Johnson and all of the fallen in your mind. Throw a massive McConkey turn, do a steezy ass three, get a gnarly line in honor of these inspirational people. Skiing wouldn't be what it's today with out these people. Much love! (no homo)
RIP

Good thread.  I hope to get out just once early on this year, if I do I'll be sure to do that.  For them and all the other people that I've lost this year.

I'm planning on taking a megaphone to the resort with me, and while I'm putting my shit on I'm gonna stand up in the bed of my truck and ask everyone in the parking lot at that moment to bow their head a take a moment for not only SM, CR, and Arne, but also for all the fallen riders from the previous season. And also to pray that everyone has a safe and righteous 2010-2011 season!

I'm gonna throw down a straight line for shane (my hero), maintain insane stoke level for cr, and make skiing look as effortless as possible what arne did so well.
