The Best Fans In The World!
The Tram Face did not happen today, but it was still a great day in my book. Eric and I lost a friend and an amazing person in 2003, Jeff “Jeffe” Ellis. In the past 6 years I have learned who helped Jeffe become such an amazing person. The Ellis family: Jim, Irene, Jimmy, Courtley, Clara, Joey, Ida, and the “Crab Man,” and many more are some of the most caring, solid, wise, wonderful people I have ever met. I am so lucky to have them in my life. And they came prepared to cheer me down the Tram Face.
Armed with posters and horns, the Ellis family was in the parking lot ready to support me like it was the Super Bowl. I can only imagine how it would have felt to ski down the Tram Face and see the Ellis gang at the finish line.
Thanks! You Guys Are Awesome!
I intended to wear my Jeff Ellis shirt today and ski for the friend I lost, but instead I shared a wonderful morning with his family. It is always hard to see Jeff’s family, but it is something I would never opt out of. They are wonderful people and help me remember that every day I have is special and it is important to take advantage of it and do what I love. That’s what Jeff did!
Hey Jess,
Just wanted to say thank you for the kind words on what is so special to me as well. I also want you to know that My family is what it is because of people like you and your husband. Much love, good luck, and the Crabman is proud to have spent his first birthday in such and amazing place and with people like you both.
Cheers.
Joe
