Marcus, that was a great run. I've been impressed with your performance with TAY, especially knowing that you went through nursing school, did S & R missions worked a real job, and all the other things that life throws our way, during your term. The old adage "if you want a job done right give it to a busy person" sure seems to ring true in your case; I don't know how you could have been much busier during your stewardship of TAY. Excellent work.
Chris, I don't know you well but from what I do know of you it is obvious that you will be an apt and efficient steward of our backcountry community. Backcountry skiing has grown immensely since Charles, Jeanette and I discussed the pros and cons of adding an interactive forum to Charles' small collection of personal trip reports he called Turns All Year during a backcountry tour at Crystal Mountain many years ago. It will be fun to see how it all continues to grows under your tutelage. You have my complete support.
