That fucking sucks!
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Wow. That sucks bad. On his day off from ( from what I read in the article ) being in constant Avalanche territory, dude takes an out of town buddy out on an afternoon tour. RIP.

Holy shit - I went to HS with Kip. Didn't realize he had already become director there. Very sad. He had an infectious love of the mountains. Condolences to his loved ones.

Condolences.. Very sobering when people like him that know far more than I do about snow safety and current conditions get taken out.

More details. Vibes to his buddy, revived Kip only to see him pass from his injuries. Heavy.

Really shitty news. I was surprised to find the director of the WAC was only 29. Must've been a super capable dude. Condolences to all who knew him.

Fucking cornices man. Sounds like he just underestimated it a little bit. Everyone has gotten away with that one at some point.

wow. that's heavy. RIP
from a learning perspective, it'll be interesting to see the report. what were his injuries? why did the team move after the CPR revival? how long had they planned on being out on their tour? were they in a hurry because of waning light? etc.
