Very heartbreaking news. Condolences to family and friends of Tony.

I always had a lot of respect for Tony's adventures and always looked forward to seeing his photos be it on skis or mountain bike. He shared his joy of living in a very humble manner. Rest in Peace.

Goddamnit, I heard about this accident but didn't realize it was a mag.

RIP. Sure seems like he was an awesome human being, wish I had gotten the chance to ski with him.

Mt. Republic is the proper name. The Fin is more of a line/feature.
