But what really separated Sam from many wasn't his athletic accomplishments, it was his character, the way he treated others and showed up for himself.Chris "Hatch" Haslock, Director, Freeski Division Park City Ski & Snowboard

Special tribute performance
Flying Ace All-Stars
Sam absolutely loved being a member of the Flying Ace All-Stars - and after he left us, his friends wanted to honor him the best way they knew how. During the celebration of his life on October 10, 2015, Sam's teammates performed a high-flying tribute to a chorus of friends, family and community members cheering, "Fly, Sam, fly!"
Six years later, the Flying Ace All-Stars will re-create their celebration of Sam's life in honor of the 3rd Annual Live Like Sam Day.
