Hilaree Nelson missing on Manaslu

[gimpy]

………sigh
What an amazing badass legend she was and an inspiration for anyone who climbs mountains to ski down them++++++

[Rasputin]

Shortly after getting back into skiing twenty years ago, someone sent me a copy of Warren Miller's Impact, in which Hilaree skied Chamonix with Nobis. She had a heroic strength to her presence. Wow!

I hope she didn't suffer.

Condolences to friends/family that might read this. Very sorry to see this on the news last night.

Condolences to her family and friends.

RIP. Fucking brutal. Cannot imagine what Jim, her kids and family are going through.

According to that video he had previously lost his wife and kids in a plane crash. No one should have to go through that kind of loss once, let alone twice.

Every time this happens I wish this kind of outcome wasn't possible. We live on the edge, sometimes that means someone will end up getting pushed over it.. R. I. P. nice lady..

[ex-powderbroker]

She was a legend and inspired many. May her children and partner find peace, she has left a giant hole in the lives of her friends and family.

Wow, this reminds me of when Alex died. R.i.p...

I didn't know Jim lost his entire family in a plane crash, what a load he is carrying now.

[ASmileyFace]

Gutted. Fucking gutted.

She will be missed around these parts. My thoughts are with Jim, her kids and all those who knew her.

[yeahman]

Wow, this reminds me of when Alex died. R.i.p..

I thought the same thing, and I'm grateful they were able to recover her body quickly so her kids and family wouldn't have to think about her entombed in the ice like Alex Lowe's family had to live with for many years. At least it provides some closure along with all the grieving.

I was not a huge fan of seeing the inside edition clip of Jim unloading her from the chopper. News I guess..

"...Perhaps, the crucial insight is that luck and skill are independent phenomena. We don’t create our own luck because we can’t. All we can do is live bravely and fully accept the responsibility for the potential consequences to the risks we take."

Yup, likely the first time I saw her also. She always impressed me as a person, mom and athlete. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
