Craig Kelly and 6 others die in BC avalanche

A loss... (excerpts from NYTimes article)

In an interview with MountainZone.com, Kelly once talked about his love of the backcountry.

"There's just a feeling you get from certain things you do in life that just kind of feel pure and independent of what's actually, physically, going on,'' he said.

"Craig Kelly embodied the sole of snowboarding,'' Annett said. ``He rode for himself because of the true love of the sport. He found pleasure in soul riding, going into the backcountry.''
