I hope there is a happy ending to this.
Andreas' Instagram & Twitter always get me stoked to go explore & ski the mountains. Plus his films.

Shared a couple pitchers with Andreas and Magnus a few years ago. This just sucks. My all time favorite video. I can watch it over and overand over.

Oh no. Both guys were legends. JP's huge, tweaked out mute-grab backflips 15 years ago remain, in my mind, the styliest thing one can do on skis.
Vibes to their friends and family.
