I was thinking the other day about all of the original and more recent pro's who fell out of the sport without much of a trace.

What are they doing now?

The big ones I can think of are:

- Brad Holmes - ?

- JoMo - ?

- Evan Raps - ?

- Mikael - ?

- Corey Vanular - ?

- Vincent Dorion - ?

- Dave Crichton - ?

These are just guys I haven't seen or heard of in the last little while. Are they still in the industry?

 
Vanular never really disappeared he just has had some knee injuries the past couple seasons but he still kills it

As for Dave Crichton, who is my all time favorite skier, its a sad story. I'm completly serious when i say it but Crichton has something like irritable bowl syndrome. Its not even like "ha ha he shit his pants on accident once or twice cause he lost control of his bowls" Its like full on cant leave the house for days type IBS. It wasn't that bad but a couple of years ago it got really bad and last i heard he kinda had to quit skiing cause he really couldn't even leave his house for days cause of his IBS. Now i'm not 100% sure this is true but i've heard it from a couple of people that like know Crichton. I remember skiing with him at Windells when i was like 15 and he taught me flairs in the pipe. He was such a bad ass and i wish he was still skiing cause he killed it.
 
Crohn's Disease

Vanular felt his knee wasn't yet 100% this season. Mikael got injured not long ago, just before JOSS I think. He's still around, he was talking about how he felt style was more important than Dumont's 1260's or whatever.

 
- Evan Raps - knee problems. He had an interview or article about him about a year ago. He was supposed to have a comeback, but it hasnt come and isnt likely now.

- Mikael - still skiing

- Corey Vanular - ?hahahah, hasn't fallen out no way

- Vincent Dorion - still skiing. he was in ski porn. I only saw yeah dude once and I cant remember. Hes skiing for 4frnt. He hasnt fallen out yet. Still sick too.

- Dave Crichton - crones disease. still skis though, as far as I know, just not professionally.

Others I should add

Jon Reddy-did something with computers as a different job, but still skis, not professionally though.

JP solberg? I've seen something about him recently, but my memory is terrible. Comeback soon, maybe?

Skogan Sprang? can't remember where he went

Mike nick?

 
Reedy

Him and another skier (Dale Begg Smith) started a software company. Something to do with pop ups i believe. He quit skiing but is recently starting to get back into it. I also think he is dating or engaged to Jess Cummings (i think thats her name) so he must be in the scene a little bit.

jp kills it, he does better doubles in pipe than peter

hell yeah, saw him at the world super pipe in PC going huge with his perfectly landed doubles!

 
crichton is my all time favorite skier and will always be. He was way inhead of everyone and would be absolutely destroying it today. One of my biggest wishes is just to session a rail anywhere with him for a day. any rail or whatever.
 
yea crichton kills it hard... true insparation , i heard about his sickness a while back, that unfortunate, but on the positive side he made an impact before his sickness, theres a reason for everything and everyone.

vanular was injured with and MCL i think? i think hes going to have a seggy this year. mik d. raps and smokes tress mang, dont think he skiis as much as he used to but is doin his own thing. im sure everyone in the list you made is in some way involved with the industry.

 
Tom Wallish? Who the fuck is that...I've heard of Tom Wallrus but not Tom Wallish...With a name like Wallish he must be a washed up ski bum making a living washing dishes somewhere.
 
what about that greg tufflemire person?

and toben sutherland fell out too, but i know his story
 
where did mike nick go? also mike wilson i havent heard about alot lately that dude was fuckin out of his mind
 
i got a good one... Brent Abrams. last i saw him was in Warren Millers Higher Ground

forgive me if he was mentioned
 
easley retired because after two years out of the game with knee injuries he felt he wasn't good enough to compete anymore.

What about

Sean Sullivan

Zach Davison

Greg Tuffelmire
