    AKturnanburn RIP

    I never met him. He was one of the few Alaska skiers posting stoke here. When he quit posting I figured he was hanging at his place in Nicaragua full time. I am visiting in the old neighborhood. Was riding over to the local trails the other day. Spotted this

    Asked my friend I was staying with what it was about. Apparently he was driving home with a full water tank in the back of his truck, lost control and water tank crushed him.

    just thought I would post this as maybe others had interacted with him and were wondering about him.

      Bummer. I met Abe at Alyeska on a down day during a heli trip with CPG.
      Nice guy, good skier.

              No shit. Packed a lot into 41 years but way too young. Sad but inspiring read.

                      Wow, so sad, but sounds like an amazing life. More then most.people.will.do in several lifetimes, so congratulations on a life well lived, but too short.

                      I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...                      iscariot

                              Abe was a great guy.

                              He took me in as a kook from "The Lower" and show me how slednecks access amazing terrain,. He was a great skier, bongo player, shit talker and camera man. And on more than one drunk occasion, let me crash in his photog studio in downtown Anchoragua.

                              Here's a shot he snapped of me early season above Summit Lake. RIP Abraham and thanks for the eye opening memories and good times.

                                  That’s sucks, seems like the guy had his priorities straight.
