Arne Backstrom 1980-2010

Another amazing skier, person and quiet leader as died recently, Arne Backstrom. He past while doing something he loved, skiing.

I didn’t know him as well as most but the little time I did have hanging out with him was great. He was a great guy. Loved skiing. A smart skier. He was quick and calculated. I feel privileged to have skied a bit with him this year.

My heart goes out to his family and close friends.
