Adam and I got to break away from our busy schedules this winter and spend a couple of amazing days on our local mountain. We timed our trips to coincide with the storms so our days were filled with deep powder and some of the best riding conditions imaginable. Adam flew through the snow hitting almost every jump. An old friend of Adam’s who hadn’t seen him in years told Adam jokingly to “act his age”.  He said this to Adam when he witnessed Adam barely landing a jump off the cornice, a fifteen foot vertical drop into a pocket of deep powder.  Adam was a kid at heart and moments like this on the mountain allowed us to play hard. While on one particular run on the mountain, Adam managed to find cell reception to send a call out to his beloved Meagan. As I rode through the trees I could hear Adam gleefully say “I love you” multiple times to Meagan.  

Adam strove to be his best self.  I witnessed him constantly trying to improve how he showed up in the world, how he showed up for his family, his friends, his neighbors.  He wanted to be the best provider for his family and to be emotionally available. He was looking forward to a long life with his beloved Meagan and his beautiful children. 

Adam was a great friend to me. I hope that I was able to reflect back to him as much love  as he showed me. I will miss you deeply brother.
