On Monday morning (February 7, 2011) word began to spread around the snowboard world that the 35-year-old snowboarder who died Sunday, February 6, 2011 at Colorado’s Eldora Mountain Resort was former pro snowboarder, and Rockies Stepchild Snowboards, Airblaster, Krew and Supra rep Scotty Goodale.
As the crew at Stepchild said on their site:

For those that had the pleasure of knowing Scotty, he was one of the kindest and humblest individuals and was a positive inspiration to everyone he came into contact with. Scotty was a very passionate person. He loved snowboarding, skateboarding and above all he loved people. His eyes lit up whenever he talked about the people in his life-especially his wife and son.

Nearly everyone we’ve spoken to remembers Scotty as the best friend anyone could ever have. In a comment on Boardistan C3 World Wide Sales Manager Johan Malkoski said Goodale, “was a dad, husband and one hell of a shred. . . He was a great kid that was never with out a smile and always lit up a room with his laughter.” Working Holiday’s Dan McNamara said Goodale “was one of the greatest guys you could have ever met. ”

Milosport’s George Johnston, who worked with Goodale, said there was absolutely nothing Goodale would not do for his friends. “I was just glad I was here snowboarding when I got the news,” Johnson told us at the WWSRA On-Snow at Lake Tahoe’s Alpine Meadows. “Or I don’t know how I would have handled it.”

A memorial fund has been created to help Goodale’s wife, and son. Donations can be sent directly to the following address:

Jennifer Goodale
c/o Crist Mortuary
3395 Penrose Place
Boulder CO 80301
Phone: (303) 442-4411

Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Services to celebrate Scotty’s life are planned for Sunday, February 13, 2011 in Boulder, Colorado. The location has not yet been announced. We will update this post with more info as it arrives.
