Yes, indeed!

I remember last year I went to Crystal when news of Arne broke and expected to see people there in his memory in an ad hoc event as he was a local - now this must be just about 1 year or so... Are accidents accelerating?

I had the privilege of skiing with Kip for a week earlier this year as he guided our group up at Points North Heli. Kip was an amazing skier yet he was also one of the most humble, genuine people I've ever met. His positive attitude was contagious.

I'll do my best to live the rest of my life a little more like Kip led his.
