Amazing! Grete Eliassen

Day 1 (continued with halfpipe)

Grete — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:48:30 +0000

So I have no pics from the slope course because it was super intense and I did not have time to think of taking photos. Just imagine 6 jumps, two rails and lots of speed.

Halfpipe is very intense nowadays. Two pairs of skis on hand, coaches, perfection, perfection. I just love riding that tranny and making fun runs.

Registration with Pete O and Keri H.
Practice was canceled today, I guess the pipe was not ready.
Why is the mountain side blue?
I wonder if you can see the pipe from space. Anyways, early morning in the slope course tomorrow. Then pipe practice at night. Seeing everyone again is fun.

Remembering CR Johnson

Grete — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:09:42 +0000

Recently a friend of mine CR Johnson died while skiing at his home mountain in Squaw Valley, CA. Even though CR went through his previous injury no one could of predicted we would lose him so soon. Early in my skiing career I was fortunate to hang out and travel with CR, Tanner, Mickael and the rest of the crew. I always looked up to these guys because they were skiing and going to the places I wanted to go. You could not find better skiers to be around and be inspired by. I connected with these guys because we all loved to ski. And we all came up in an era when skiing was not exactly cool and we wanted to let more people understand how much fun it is. Losing CR is very hard for me because I see so much of my skiing in his. Skiing the mountain in a new way, having fun by throwing tricks on your way down. Loving the feeling of powder and sunny park days. These are moments not just anyone can experience. That is why skiing is so special and CR knew that. Forever life will be different now and there is no way to go back. I pray for CRs family, friends and everyone he touched during his lifetime. This is not going to be an easy recovery and we all know he was taken from us way too soon. He wanted so much to give back even more. It is important we remember him and talk about all the great things he did, he was an amazing friend and a true inspiration.
