Jamie Pierre died one year ago today. Here is a look back on the man, the myth, the legend in an interview released shortly after his untimely death by Bomb Snow Magazine.
Back Story: Jamie Pierre Killed in Avalanche in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah Today
Although Jamie Pierre had just recently moved to Big Sky, the Bomb Snow Team was fortunate enough to spend some quality days on the mountain with him skiing, taking photos and eventually getting to know Jamie as the genuine fun-loving guy he was.
The above interview was shot only a couple months ago, and was made with the soul purpose of portraying the Jamie Pierre we knew to the rest of the ski-world. The real behind the scenes Jamie who just wanted to ski and have fun. A down to earth guy who valued what was best for his family. Someone who wanted a quiet place with less distractions, less people and more skiing.
It’s a damn shame we have to show this interview about our friend who is no longer with us. Our sincere hope is that at the very least, this interview will shed some light on a man who was often misunderstood for much of his career by those who never met him.
The Jamie we knew loved life, had a passion for going big and most importantly had a huge heart. Thanks for the good times and fond memories amigo. You will be greatly missed but always remembered. – Bomb Snow.
