Nils/Plakespear

**davefromwv** · 09-19-2010, 06:28 PM

Hard to believe it's been 3 years this week since we lost such a great friend. Not sure if a thread went up or not. I've thought about Nils a few times over the past few weeks. Just wanted to make sure we all give him a shout out and also remember to make a few extra pow turns this season just for him. He'll be smiling somewhere!

Missing you, buddy.

Whoa, we were just talking about him tonight. Three years goes by so fast.

**Gunder** · 09-20-2010, 01:32 AM

Wow. I cant believe it has been 3 years!!!! RIP Nils!

**jerr** · 09-20-2010, 04:26 AM

I only knew him, from thousands of miles away, over the internet, but I miss seeing his avatar and words.

Edit: and I loved his spirit/guts

Does anyone know if anything ever happened with the Normalcy project? Was looking forward to that coming together.

**Mrs Roo** · 09-20-2010, 07:47 AM

Three years? Boy, time flies.

We may be over the pond but Roo and I were gutted when he died. We had the pleasure of meeting him at the Jackson summit, still smiling post fractured pelvis!

True guts.

I was just thinking about Nils a couple weekends ago when I took the roof box out of storage and saw the memorial sticker placed prominently on the back.

We miss you buddy.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Nils but I always felt a connection to him both through this community and through his hometown, which was also the home of Scotch Valley ski area, a hill I skied on quite a lot as a kid. And my best friend in Japan had a son come to the US as a high school exchange student and where did he end up living for a year? Yep, South Cortwright, Nils' home town. So whenever I think of skiing at Scotch Valley, or the mags who were close to him, or my friend Toshi, I also think of Nils. RIP. A good man done gone but he lives in all of our hearts, even those whose lives he touched without ever meeting.

how strange - I was just thinking about Nils this morning. Remembering how active he was right up until the end, and how he never gave up hope. He's missed.

FKNA, Nils. Are you sure you can't get a kitchen pass or something and maybe post again? Just one more time....

Missing you buddy

It's no small coincidence that I was thinking about Nils this week as I was going over the ski gear inventory. I found the bindings I grossly overpaid for in the auction we had for Plakespear back when we hoped for a recovery (best money I ever threw away). Losing a young person with so much to live for was tough. Anyway, I just thought on this anniversary of that sad occasion, I'd make a post to his memory, and a request...

Moderators, please close his account and delete all the spam there. It's just wrong.

**snowsprite** · 09-19-2011, 06:10 PM

I'm bummed to see the spam there...but I like to see his account here. Like I can't delete his name/number from my phone. It's comforting to see it there somehow. I still miss him, a good dude gone way too soon. When the air gets a chill, I always think of him.

Wow. What a sweet dude. It was like he posted here one day and was gone the next. It broke my heart to see the fear in his eyes before he went in for that last treatment. Peace, Nils. Miss ya, buddy.

**Pinner** · 09-19-2011, 08:53 PM

I was thinking of him just days ago not knowing it was three years to the week. Times like this remind me how much this place has meant to so many for so long.

RIP, Nils.
