    I don't want to say much until things are public, but people I know are among the deceased. I need a drink.

    Sorry to hear it guys.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Dang. That’s a tough read. Chilling at the landing spot after a great run and shit goes bad.

    Vibes. And love to those that knew those that passed.

    Small community. Total bummer. Seems incredible that they were operating in current conditions.

    I spent some (limited) time in the mountains with the bad-ass amazing wife of one of them and I'm devastated for her and her young son. Shit ain't fair. Never is.

    So very sad. Spent most of the 90’s in Kaslo, working and playing in their terrain. Unforgiving country, and the valley of lost souls claims another of its own.

    Condolences to all those connected to the deceased.

    Rough day for sure.

    Really liked chasing Jason around. And he was always ready with a makeshift ice pack when I inevitably fucked myself up. Just brutal.
