Following the devastating avalanche which claimed the lives of Alex Pashley, Jason Remple, and our dear friend Jeff Keenan on March 24th, the grief and loss of these beloved community members still weigh heavily. Yet we wonder, when and how do we start returning to our regular lives after such a significant loss? The truth is both: never, and right away. It's never going to be the same without Jeff, but it's important that we try our best to carry on. These photos are from two really fun days. Spending time with friends after such a big loss is a must. Snowboarding is therapeutic on its own, but when it's shared with friends, it feels like you could get through anything. Whatever you might be going through, getting outside, doing something you love and with someone you love is the best way forward. One lap at a time.—Rob Lemay
