4x world snowboard champion Craig Kelly died in an Avalanche while guiding in the backcountry of British Columbia. This clip remembers the loose of this snowboard family member with its haunting archive footage of Craig riding in the mountains. The irony is profound as his interview touches upon the dangers of Avalanches and his true life calling as a snowboarder and lover of the bliss of the ride.

  • I just got off the mountain and all I could think about was Craig Kelly (RIP). I make a note to model my style after his. No one rode pow like he did. Shaun White and Danny Kass are good but Craig is the greatest dead or alive. Sadly my rail loving brother disagreas with me. I look forward to surfing heavens snow with you.

  • he died doing what he loved.

  • Craig had a house in my small town, always was an awesome guy, gave us stickers and gear all the time. He really died what he loved to do. I wish more people had passion like Craig. It was an honor to meet this guy.

  • Craig was and always has been the epitome of snowboarding it's heart and soul he occupies that pinnacle we all strive to achieve.

    He'll always be the greatest snowboarder

  • Thanks Craig! In the 90's he was... he had what all of us inspired to have.. to be...

  • @sandbox390 so true. RIP

  • @smilestretchers He wass hte best. But id have to say Jeremy Jones is now takin gover. Craig will always be known as the BEST first rider we had. But he could only lose that title as younger and stronger kids eventually take over. Nothing taken from Craig but Jones is by fart the best RIDEZR ever. Still love Craig but like anything things will eventually get better. RIP we miss you Craig

  • I met Craig back in '87. I grew up in Glacier, and we rode Baker together. He gave me my first snowbaord, second, third, too many to count. I live in eastern wa now. He would always make an effort to stop by and hang out, if he was traveling thru. I sure miss that guy.

  • ruler.

  • RIP brother!

  • true legend. rip. everyone has got to check out warren miller's 'tweaked and twisted'
