Andy Martin, April 21, 2015, RIP

It is with great sadness that I report the tragic loss of our dear friend and fellow TAYer, Andy Martin, from natural causes on Tuesday this week.  Andy had a great enthusiasm for our snowy mountains and ski adventures that he shared with all who were fortunate to know him.  He started posting here in 2006 and kept his streak going for over 220 months. 

He loved days skiing at Crystal and trips to Whistler as much as his backcountry adventures in the Cascades, CAT skiing trips in the Monashees, or recent travels to Chamonix.  Our hearts go out to all his friends and family during this difficult time.  He will be greatly missed.

That's very sad news, Paul, thanks for the post. Condolences to Andy's friends and family.

I'm not sure if I ever met Andy in person, but I certainly recall his posts on TAY, including many positive replies on my TRs over the years and comments on my various snowpack-related posts. So I spent a while now reading through the TRs he posted on TAY over the years, including several notable ones on Little Tahoma:

Ski on Andy!

Met him once on the Van Trump side. Sorry to hear he's gone.

My brother and I ran into Andy by chance at Crystal last ski season. We spent an entire day skiing with him. We had a blast. We traded emails but never skied again. Really nice guy. RIP.

Oh no...  Very sad news.   Scott k and I skied with Andy on what I recall was his 120th / 10 year TAY anniversary a few years ago. 


Need to look it up, but I recall it was a marginal day but Andy was "full on" in ski mode.  He was super enthusiastic about the TAY 10 year thing to be sure.

So fit...sorry to hear this...
