Shreddin' for Ken

Stevens Pass February 13th, 16th and 17th | 2014

Live in Love

Ken Kelley

1981 - 2014

I knew Ken as a snowboarder. From his method photos on the Stevens website, to seeing his big backside spins in the park, Ken was truly one of my first NW influences -- and at the time I didn't even know it. Whenever Ken was riding with me -- or anyone for that matter -- there was a feeling of trust and confidence that kept me feeling safe for some reason. I was lucky enough to ride with Ken on his last few days, in which there was a memorable line that we ripped simultaneously and a tiny bit of footage that gives me the chills when I watch it.

SHREDS: Matt Wainhouse, Seth Hill, Manuel Diaz, Scotty Witsil, Stone Parker, Brian Schaefer, Tim Wesley and Ken Kelley
