I really should spend more time with my Maggot family.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Jim was the first person to reach out when I moved to Spokane. The dude was super friendly and got together about 4 or 5 mags to meet up for a beer within my first month to town. That meeting resulted in me landing a part time job at a ski shop owned by another mag.
Jim and I never got a chance to ski together, but he'd come into the ski shop and we'd shoot the shit talk skiing and trips we had planned. He also extending invites for trips he was planning.
Overall, Jim was the type of guy and skier we should all stride to be like. He was always outgoing and friendly to his follow skiers.
Shred in peace Jim. Hope you're hurling the biggest cliffs and shredding those cloud pillow lines and spines up in the heavens
Jim was also the first skier to reach out to me on the forums when I moved to Spokane. He took me to all his stashes around our local mountain, Schweitzer. We stopped by to watch his girls ski racing. Extended invites to ski the volcanoes and genuinely shared a passion to slide down the mountain with like minded individuals. RIP Jim, Condolences to your family.
Damn, I didn't realize the TGR connection. A friend of mine was with him in Argentina when this happened. I didn't know any details of the accident, only that he had been killed on Martial Glacier. I had just talked to my friend right before they left on this trip to ski Antartica. He had been in Iceland earlier this year and was really, really stoked for this trip. It was shocking when I saw that Jim had been in a tragic accident. RIP Jim.
RIP Jim. Condolences to all who knew him, sounds like the solidest of guys.

On Friday my daughter told me that one of her friends from S.P. posted about losing her dad in an avalanche in Argentina. Absolutely gut wrenching to come come here and see this thread this morning. Condolences to all who knew Jim, sounds like a stand up guy.
