COOPERSTOWN – Dr. Cory Johnston died unexpectedly in a skiing accident on the higher elevations of Mount Hood on Feb. 25. It was his 47th birthday.

Survivors include his parents, Waldo and Caroline Johnston, Cooperstown.

Born in Colorado Springs in 1973, Cory grew up in the mountains of Colorado where he inherited a love of the outdoors from his parents, Waldo and Candy, and his older sister, Crickett. It was amongst these mantled peaks that he first learned to ski, merrily tumbling down most of the runs at Copper Mountain, Crested Butte, and pretty much any slope with snow on it.
