You never know what your addiction might be- drugs? Alcohol? An adrenaline rush? Sports? Health and fitness? When you have an addiction, it’s hard to give up, but easy to fill the void with something else.
And that’s exactly what Eric LeMarque did. He lost hockey and found meth, and then found snow boarding.
But when a storm rolled into Mammoth Mountain and sweat over the Sierra Nevadas, Eric felt the rules of the resort closing didn’t apply to him. He was a pro, after all.
And then, he learned how Mother Nature plays but her own secret set of rules.
Welcome to Tragedy with a View.
