I won't forget that one for awhile. It is sad that a fellow fun junkie past yesterday, but I can honestly say when it's my time there isn't a much better way to go. My guess is his last few minutes he had a shit eating grin, ear to ear like the rest of us. I'm also proud of the way those of us involved handled the situation. Erica and Cameron, salute.

I feel safe in the hands of the geek, Cameron, and Erika (do I know her). Very admirable my friends! I might B/C 2morrow with Smokes if the avy danger is on chill mode, and if anyone else is interested give me a shout, otherwise it's the bowl! I thought about gettin rid of the Sickbirds, they feel a bit big at times (185cm), but they fucked shit up at the bowl 2day. A good B/C ski, but I want somethin for everythin. Still might loose em if anyone is interested. nooner I give props to ya’ll that gave aid to the warrior in need…so often the average turn their backs, not for the lack of compassion, but of fear they’ll do somethin wrong and quite possibly legal consequences.

That’s twice this year that I’ve heard from a close source of someone dropping dead in front of them. The first was on a basketball court, and now at Mount Rose. I guess if I had to go, I’d prefer to go on skis rather than in my Chuck Taylor’s…if I HAD to go. Sounds like I missed a great day, regardless. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it and finally meet most of you’s guys. Yikes! That’s twice this year that I’ve heard from a close source of someone dropping dead in front of them.

This morning's parking lot union was the reason I love Rose. Thanks for turns boys and the lift home Japhy. As for our fallen friend, it was a first for me too and i think the take away lesson is you're never prepared enough. For him it was a lift line, but for any of us it could have been miles from the nearest road. we would do well to learn more about emergency response and first aid. i don't want to stabilize any of your greasy heads any time soon. Same roll call tomorrow? -Red Beard Long time bacon lover, first time poster.

Cam, Griss, and Erika were awesome, helping in every way possible until relieved by the medically qualified. i don't know anything about the guy's life history, but i'll remember this for a long time. after being hustled onto the chair by the lifties, the guy sitting next to me said, "i sure hope that when i go, my last moments are spent skiing awesome powder." thanks for sharing an otherwise amazing powder day.
