    Damn. So sad to see a hero fall. RIP Kip. You will be greatly missed.

    Geez, really sorry to hear this. Kip approached me about an Eider sponsorship several years ago. We hooked him up and he was a really cool dude. I enjoyed watching his career. What a great talent. My condolences to he and Alison's family and friends.

    Damn sad. Kip killed it from New Hampshire to Antarctica. Hell of a ski mountaineer. RIP.

    When I commented before, I thought to myself, "I am glad these weren't people close to me." I just found out that Allison was our friend, Allison Kreutzen - one of the finest people to have ever passed through Crested Butte, I am sure. A ripping skier and so much more. Fuck. Dizzy right now...

    Really upset to hear this.

    My condolences to all who knew Allison and Kip. Squaw people, Mike, Dside, Straightchuter, etc.

    RIP.

    I never got to ski with Allison, but we traded stories about broken hips. What a fantastic person and what a sad thing to have happen.

    RIP

    i met Kip in Gulmarg as well. He was part of the small group that started training the domestic ski patrol in 2006 there and basically started the program that today allows the rest of us to ski amazing lines that would have otherwise been totally inaccessible.

    He was also part of the only group ive ever heard of that skied Sunshine Peak(~2000m skinning/bootpacking topping out just shy of 15k, 10 mile approach, 5 mile exit) in a single day. oh, and they started around 10am...

    Fuck! Kip was the most positive person I've ever met. So fired up on everything. He always had a huge smile on his face. An incredibly solid individual. This has been a rough year. RIP

    Horrible news. Deepest condolences go out to the friends and family of Kip and Allison. Allison made her mark on us CB folks. She was even with me the moment I tore my ACL and proceeded to break her hip just a few weeks after. She was a trooper. She will be missed by all of us greatly.

    my heart goes out to the PNH crew and all the friends and family of Allison and Kip. had a chance at the end of last season to have beers and talk Alaska climbing with Kip. I'm sorry we never got the oppurtunity to ski Bob Korn. RIP

    Kip was one of the coolest, friendliest, stokiest people i've ever had the honor to ride the chair with.

    he was really fun to cheer for in the squaw freeskiing comps, too.

    so sad...
    Still waiting...
