Terribly sad.
I first met Morgan about 8 years ago when I enrolled in a climbing class at Vertical World. I was impressed with his intelligence, professionalism, great humor, and laid-back nature.
Through pure happenstance, four years ago, I was fortunate -- as a novice cross country ski instructor at the Snoqualmie Nordic Center -- to be teamed with Morgan while instructing 9, 10, and 11-year-old kids during an 8 week program. His co-instructors, the kids, and their parents respected and admired Morgan whose enthusiasm was truly infectious.
The attached photo (Morgan, grinning broadly, on the left) was taken minutes after the kids achieved their 8 week program's major milestone: loading on, riding up, and unloading from the Silver Fir chairlift.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends and to our outdoor recreation community.
