Ross EWINGTON Obituary

Hey Karly. Had a coupl'a' unreal runs out west with you at Whaka's last year. Could you feel me breathing down ya' neck ? I'll never catch ya' but I'll be there !! Take it easy my friend.

Ross was the epithelium of a go-getter. I first met Ross in Hawera as he was so tied up with sking . He was a legend. A unreal all round Kiwi bloke. The instigator of the "BIG #" Never forget ya mate and the great days on Eggy. The Waite 's.

Farewell Ross. We were neighbours in Hawera in the 60s, and I always thought you were a real hero because you were a great skier, and I hadn't even given it a go. When I did, I couldn't??

Absolutely gutted to hear of the demise of Ross. A wonderful friend and mentor during our time at Spalding, Forte and beyond. So many laughs, so many treasured memories. A true friend.Vale to a dear soul.

I 1st met Ross on Egmont in the 60's.He was the Real Deal.Full of energy,positive & inspirational.His success resulted from his 100% commitment.The little Beaver chomping away at the huge tree trunk.He'd get there !
To this day,my most amazing alpine experiences & funniest mountain moments were with Rosco.Especially in Switzerland.He was the unofficial Mayor of Wengen & the Lauberhorn days were a time to be proud of him.
KARLY,.....thank you for your time & your friendship.Thank you so much for the memories.Thanks for the Swiss Army Knife. AND a special thanks for the 'Bone Spurs' & deformities on my feet from those rotten Cabers.
To the "Wood-Chopper" from Hawera....you are a true LEGEND.
Ciao.
Craig Hunter.

Sorry to hear of your loss Hold those edges Bud.

Ross was a great friend and member of the Stratford Mountain Club. He was an inspiration to many Taranaki skiers that skied alongside him during the Clubs golden years of 1970s and 1980s.

Always generous with his time coaching and encouragment of future ski racers.
A fantastic guy that will be missed.
Rest easy Ross

I had great times in Switzerland and New Zealand with Ross and I am blessed to have known him and will miss him a lot.

My heart goes out to all the family -remembering such wonderful times on the NZ Ski team - looking up to Ross -a true ski hero-- simply a hero-kind, generous,thoughtful and so talented.

Worked with Ross in the 70's at Spalding in Christchurch. Fond memories of a great workmate and interesting character. Sincere condolences to his family.

Farewell, my old friend, you have run your last gate. I am truly grateful to have known you from our childhood to manhood and all that good stuff between.

AN awesome ski mate and just a amazing bloke. Lived his life to the full. Taranaki will really miss his zest for living and his promotions of "The Big Three"".He was always a sking and party inspiration. He kept his edges "SHARP". Sad day. Will mIss ya mate.

Ross was always the life of the party and kept our driver laughing.....

Great memories of a really determined athlete as well as a hard-case bloke. Ski hard Ross.

Fond memories of Ross in Switzerland in the 70's sad loss
