John’s passion for skiing was evident from the moment Evelyne and I first met him in 2011. But it wasn’t until February 2017—when he was 78—that I truly understood his remarkable spirit on the slopes. That day at Park City Mountain, we carved our way down Portuguese Gap at Jupiter Peak, one of the resort’s most challenging runs. John skied it with the grace and grit of a man half his age, and together we have fun skiing 10,844 vertical feet that day!
Over the years, we cherished our frequent talks with John, often stopping by his home to hear his endless trove of hilarious ski tales—each one delivered with his signature wit and twinkle in his eye. While we’ll miss him deeply, his stories, his laughter, and his love for the mountains will stay with us forever.
