Since the day that my best friend Cara and I met, she’s always told me stories about her weird and quirky brother, Mike. His life was full of adventures and he exuded a love and passion connecting people and being a part of communities. When I finally met Mike, his energy was so magnetizing and I never felt so welcomed by anybody before meeting him. I felt so inspired by him through hearing about where in the world he’s traveled and what mountains he’s hiked and skied on. It was such a privilege to be able to spend the last ski season with Mike, drinking Fireball on the side of the mountain, him cheering me on as I go down a steep and scary run (which was a breeze for him, obviously), and driving home with all of our stinky smelly gear. The mountains won’t be the same without you there, Mike, but your spirit will live on forever.
