Captain Jack had long been the unflinching face of competitive Canadian freeskiing. His wizard's beard danced in the wind as he ushered countless skiers through the start gate at big mountain comps over the years. He partied like a rock star alongside athletes half of his age that could barely keep up. Jack was a character unmatched in the ski world. The reverberations of his loss will resonate long and far. May the winter breeze carry him along with us on our snowy paths from here on in.
