Sixteen years.
Sixteen years since the mountains felt a little quieter.
CR Johnson was a local Tahoe skier who was an inspiration to many. His infectious spirit and positive attitude were always welcome from the terrain park where he landed the first 1440 ever on skis at the age of 15 to the sets of various ski movies to the Winter X Games.
In his iconic red, yellow, and green ski outfits, CR Johnson was well recognizable in the skiing world in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, CR passed away from a ski accident on February 24, 2010, leaving the ski community in mourning.
After his passing, the High Fives Foundation and the Johnson family dedicated its rehabilitation center to the late skier, calling it the CR Johnson Healing Center where services are provided for athletes in recovery from outdoor-sports related injuries. Resources include physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, personal training, and more.
