Me, too. I saw the news item roll across CBC ticker a few nights ago and I came here to look for details. When his name jumped off the screen it was like a gut punch. I think because I came to know of Trevor's adventures here and not from Matchstick Productions or Powder magazine that he seemed more real and accessible. Plus he played in my old stomping grounds to add to the familiarity.Quote:

Condolences to Trevor's family and friends.
Ah, so sad. Flew too fast, too quick, and got taken out too young. I bet if he stopped right before the cliff and survived, he would have re-thought his whole "career" in the mountains and would from then on, be much more conservative with snow conditions. We all learnt from close calls, it changes you. Wish this one was just a close call instead, RIP. Clearly that is a line you only ski in perfect conditions, that was a ballsy line in storm conditions.
RIP Trevor.
I loved following his stuff. Just watched a bunch of his vimeo edits again. I was shocked to hear he was only 28 as he just seemed to have a maturity and skill set of someone much older the way he moved through the mountains. Such aesthetic lines. Be careful out there. Even small avalanches kill.
^^^ Wrong thread... Really wrong thread.
Friends and I were just talking about Trevor's progression last week. We have been following him for a while now. He really had a passion for life and the mountains.
My heart goes out to his ski partner that day. Its awful to make the trip back solo. ++ Vibes my friend.
This is such a bummer. So much of this stuff, I'm just completely over the concept / thrill of exposure, even though it's a huge rush. Shit, even a relatively mellow run with exposure took the likes of Doug Coombs. But I do appreciate those willing to take the risk, none-the-less. I hope Trevor's family at least knows how respected he was by a bunch of us who knew him or just read his TR's on this forum. There is no consolation for what happened, but perhaps some comfort in that.
^^
QFT TahoeJ. QFT.
Trevor's ski season has no beginning or end. He charged through year round and left most of us salivating at his efforts and rewards. RIPQuote:

Man that sucks. Deepest condolences to his friends and family. Too young and too damn early in the season to already see deaths from avalanches. Stay safe everyone.
Took me a bit to recognize just where this was. This wasn't just another random avalanche death. He took a huge risk and paid the ultimate price. It would have been a great story if he had survived, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
I remember dealing with him for his ski boot liners. Always a nice message and great support for the community. He will definitely be missed.
Just read one of those to see if it matched up with what I was told by people who were flow in after to take a look. One guy who teaches level 1 and other high level courses and experienced guide who had spent a lot of time in that terrain. Bares no resemblance but I don't think it could as in this case I was told the guide really fu*ked up and there could be a case for someone to sue him. So there is no way what goes in a report can point the finger . What will happen is the event will be covered in courses and that is the feedback.Quote:

This is a pretty big deal in Canada, sort of our Time magazine. Hope you're ripping it up Angry one.
I was just thinking about this thread... watching some of the vids of these awesome trips, some seemingly solo, on vimeo. Guy was an animal. Ski in peace.
I was just thinking about him today. Man - sad, sad, stuff.
much respect.
i hate the gauntlet and the bell curve.
i'm pissed he skied that on that day.
fuck.
One year ago today. Still miss the stoke he brought. Wish I'd been lucky enough to meet him in person.
Same.Quote:
