Russell Fleming.... Russell Fleming!!!
What a pain in my ass you were...Wanting to film me for the “dang chair report”. He grew on me. He became infectious with his happy. Some say he introduced lots of black folk to the sport of skiing, they were partially correct. Russell introduced and retained lots of people to our sport and made them feel welcome from day one.
He was an ambassador for PSIA-AASI, he aimed high. Russell didn’t ski the level 3 standard in my group at an exam two years ago.
He walked up gave me a hug and whispered “love ya Wiz”
I think his standard was higher than ours. He always aimed high.
Our cultural and political chats were always spirited:)
They were usually spurred by me correcting his grammar on his social media posts. Russell: “Wiz, you tryin to get me talk right or white” Wiz: “yep”
Russell Fleming, you were a gift to your family, to your friends, to our sport, to our industry, to our ski school AND you became a friend to me.
On that one day, you didn’t ski the standard... But in life, YOU WERE THE STANDARD!!!!
(In a whisper, to your spirit) “Love ya Russell”😪❤️✊🏽⛷

I have watch him grow.

Landed at Turn of River Lodge last night after nice drive from DC to Killington. The River greeted us with a beautiful wine tasting that lasted till midnight. Some of our guest enjoyed the wine while wrapped up in front the fireplace, Christmas Tree and soccer game. Lol

Off to Okemo to ski, then off to meet up with the caretakers to open our Private Pro Jam Boot Camp Lodge this afternoon.

Here is some new and replacement Tech I added to my tuning gear. The 2 most exciting additions are the Evo Pro Edged (2 passes and done). And the DPS Phantom glide process (never wax skis again).
Put a video on both below:

EVO Pro Edged (crazy over this).
