We Love You Brenda

     I only met you two once at a Crystalfest, but I always liked the TRs of you skiing together. 
My wife and I occasionally BC ski together, and if she goes before me I know I'll miss those times dearly, along with everything else.
     We'll drop the knee for her. 

This is shocking...I'm so sorry for your loss Mike...the few times that i've bumped into you in the BC, her beautiful smile and enthusiasm was priceless.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, Mike. This is a shock. What a terrible loss and tragedy. David Koelle

Didn't know her - but deep sympathy to her family and numerous friends!

Dang!  This is a sad blow... I met you a few times in the mountains, I feel like I know you better than that through all the trip reports.  The one time we got to ski together, March 27, 2010, was a special day in the mountains.  Brenda was talking her way up and down the mountain.  It was a deep, heavy powder day in the Tatoosh, and she was timing her turns by shouting "Turn Girl!" -glide- "Now Turn Girl!".  I remember Chris Lyles was totally ticked that someone had snaked our line, til at the bottom we found Mike and Brenda, then it was all smiles all around.  No apologies given or expected.    I'll always remember her smile, chasing her down the Narada Face, then getting a bear hug from her in the parking lot... Prayers for both of you Mike and Brenda.

Here's a few pictures of that day last March. Brenda's in the thick of things.

My condolences to her friends and family. Lets hope this is the last loss for this community this year.
