April 10, 2010. It's greybird at Sugarbowl Ski Area, CA. No matter, the train is destined to show. That's right, High Fives Foundation shows up like the mailman, rain, sleet or snow. They're not here for themselves, but for what you cannot see, similar to a sealed letter. It's time once again to gather the best in ski talent and philanthropy to raise money and awareness. This year there is a message to deliver that reigns supreme to that of any other news, CR Johnson is within us regardless of the news that was delivered 43 days prior as to his passing. The message is as strong and prolific as he was.
Trains, High Five's premier on-hill freestyle ski event is now in its third year and growth is evident. The feature is above and beyond the best yet, the talent is stacked and the camaraderie is unparalleled. The event is unlike any other, celebrating skiing, hot wings, music, and life. High Fives has secured the position as the premier carrier for hope and positivity within the ski community and beyond and the message is clear; it's not a matter of whether they'll deliver, but when.
