Craig Kelly: a legendary snowboarder who influenced the shape of the sport we see today. He had an unmatched enthusiasm for sliding on the snow, and his joy in it emphasized his spirit in competition. Even once leaving the competition slopes, Craig was enthralled with the outdoors and the snow. Determined to become a back country guide, on his snowboard rather than skis, he pioneered the path for snowboarders all over the world today. In 2003, that path came to a sudden end when an avalanche broke look on the slopes of Durrand Glacier, and buried him, along with several others, under a dozen feet of snow.
