Elite Skier Freddie Winter Posted August 6, 2020 Elite Skier Share Posted August 6, 2020 I didn't know Ty very well but at my first ever pro event at the Princes Pro-Am in England back in '09 he was very kind to me. Being the new guy skiing against my heroes I felt really intimidated to talk to anyone but Ty couldn't have been cooler and we hung out a fair bit that weekend. I remember we were on the bobble for the final going into the final qualification round, him 7th and me 8th. We stood looking out at the lake as the round started hoping for a storm to come in. We both made it in without any storm. RIP to a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DaveD Posted August 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2020 Got a couple lessons from him a while back. Still use what he taught me about stance before turning in for the gates. My best to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
