    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.
    Move upside and let the man go through...

    His wife posted on FB yesterday that she plans to have a get together for his ski friends at some point. Definitely going to try my best to make that.

    Glaciar Martial in Ushuaia Argentina. He and a buddy were on their way to Antartica for a ship-borne ski touring trip and hit this on their way. Really sad. When his partner (friend of mine) get back, I'll probably find out more details but don't want to push him too much on it. From what I understand, he's pretty upset and understandably freaked by what happened.

    Just incredibly saddening
    He made great use of the time he had as far as I can tell.
    Condolences and strength to his immediate family and all those closest to him.

    Vibes.
    Its not his loss, rather the loss of those he left behind.
    Sounds like a life well lived.
    If I were to die doing what I loved tomorrow, there would be no regrets for myself, the regrets would be for the loved ones still here.
    Hope his daughters gained from their father what he wished they would.
    RIP.

    Rough news. I hope his friends and family know he was valued here and we'll miss his contributions.

    Lucky enough to meet and ski with Jim on that Adams trip NWSKIER mentioned. I’ll never forget crawling out of my bivy only to hear “change for a nickel?!?” A warm soul to spend time with in the mountains.

    Ski in Peace, Jim. Condolences to the family and his loved ones.
