this shit hits close to home even when it's someone you've only meet online and in passing on the skin track
it's been said before at least for the intermountain west- it's the year of the dragon, don't wake it.

I always looked forward to his photos and vids.

Here is a link to the last trip report that Alecs posted from the same area.

^^^This x2.

As the old saying goes, there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are very few old bold pilots.

Alecs was a bold pilot. Shred in peace.

Sad to see this happen. We have some seriously iffy conditions this year, and it won't be getting much better. That itch to get the good riding is hard to deny. Its low angles and and trees for me this year.

Thoughts are with his family and friends.

Stay safe everyone.

No Way!

Rest in peace Alex. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Thoughts to all his family and friends during this.

Tragic.

Bum deal..

I hope that this tragedy is a huge eye opener and the only we see this season.

My heart goes out to all of his family and friends.

Wow! Sucks to hear this. Looks like he really knew this zone and was doing his due diligence to know the snow pack. This is a scary story and eye opener. Be careful out there!

Positive thoughts to his family and friends.

Damn. Sending some major vibes to his friends and family. Shred in peace, and to the rest, be careful out there folks.

I bumped into Alecs once on a skinner. His enthusiasm made a positive impression. When I saw his car still parked at Argenta near dusk yesterday, my hair stood on end. I offer sincere condolences to those who were close to him.

Uuugh, never knew the guy but seeing his posts on here it hits close to home. :nononno:

I particularly liked that he used Tool in one of his POV vids :headbang:

Don't let your guard down out there.
