Snowboarding lost one of its most iconographic image makers on January 2, 2016 with Chris Brunkhart’s death from cancer. He was 47.

In a eulogy on Frequency: The Snowboarding Journal Jeff Galbraith summed up many people’s thoughts when he said:

To Chris Brunkhart, whose bravery far outshone the most daredevil of snowboard stuntmen, and whose talent and passion remain as vast as the Western night sky; we love you my brother.

A gathering is planned in Portland, Oregon for the weekend of January 15-16, 2016. We’ll have more info as it arrives.
