Mag Down RIP 2ski2fish4ever

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of John, dba 2ski2fish4ever.

Always a joy to ski with, filled with passion for the sport. One of those guys who would be out no matter the conditions and wondering why others weren't out there. Running into him with his group of young skiers I could always see the joy it brought him to watch them rip around in the woods. I only saw him once this winter, the last I saw him, with a small group of kids and we chatted briefly about the great run of skiing in Jan/Feb. Wish we could have made a few turns.

Gonna miss you Mang

2ski2fish4ever could always be relied on for a positive spin on things and that kind of outlook exemplifies why. so i am sorry to see this news. my condolences to his friends and family, may his memory be a blessing.

Damn! I wouldn't say we were close but we chatted from time to time and he was always so upbeat. Never actually got to ski with him. Fuck cancer.

Didn’t know him but sad news to hear. Condolences to his family and friends. Hope you do get to ski and fish forever. Rest easy.

RIP Mag. Condolences.

We never actually connected IRL but had several near misses. Said he’d show me around the bush anytime, which I (total JONG status at the time) thought was pretty cool during my early years here.

Like VTF mentioned, anytime I’d see a post from him it was almost always commenting on what a great day it was skiing, despite the conditions, and wondering where the hell everyone else was.

The last time we skied Sugarbush was a full on rain day over New Years a few seasons ago. Come to think of it, he was probably out there with us!

RIP John

I didn't know him, but every loss from the Survivors Club hits me hard. It's personal. Vibes to all those who knew and loved him.

RIP. Sorry late to see this but I met him a few times. He hooked me up like a proper mag with ticket vouchers on and around closing day at bush. I went to his house to pick up and he had some really interesting wood working projects. We rode the lift a few times. Turns out he was friends with another dude I knew from way back.
What's crazy is that when I met him he had just come very close to death when a concrete sluice thing fell off of the vehicle in front of him and went through his windshield and out the back of the truck cab very close to him, but missed.
Will raise a glass this evening.

Hopefully someone in John’s family continues his East coast mantra that it might be raining now but it could always change to snow, but either way it’s a great day to be in the mountains with your family and friends.

Always sad to hear. RIP. +++++VIBES+++++sent to loved ones

Sounds like an inspiring character worth meeting and living an intentional life well lived. RIP

vibess++++++++=sorry for your loss

The dry sense of humor was perfectly mixed with sarcasm. I knew his wife longer , we worked at a restaurant about 23 years ago, but only met John around 10 years ago when he worked with me on a house I was building. He certainly threw out some funny stuff.

Makes me sad with the first snow falling to know he won't be around this winter. Fuck....


Hoping to get to this between 3 and 4 after lunch with a couple that are moving to Germany

Double post

Was great to see the large number of people at the Celebration today. Caught up with a number of old friends and had some good laughs remembering our lost friend. One highlight was Jeff Wade remembering a time they were working together on a house and John described the skiing Sunday with his Blazer group after a Saturday rain and freeze as "burnished". Finished off in the parking lot with some Blazer coaches in the parking lot that offered "have a PBR, and tequila shot, to remember John".
Gonna miss you my friend.

Nice you were able to get together and cherish the memories and have a laugh. It's all you can do in times of death. You will be missed on this side, but cheers to John as he's now skiing and fishing forever.
