Another Family
The ski community is one of close-knit friendships, shared for what each of us are commonly passionate about. This united passion fuels our family, constantly adding new members, and sometimes, it takes them from us. We’ve also all lost someone, or a few people, who have kindled these passions in us. Last night, we lost another.
Ryan Hawks, Green Mountain, skier Boyz, Ski it if you Can. And you could, you could ski anything. and we saw you ski anything and everything time and time again. Laughing, smiling. Always having fun. Yelling out of the GMF van, trying to persuade Lar’s to sow the flag onto your hat. You always made me laugh, smile, and made everything fun. I don’t really have many words right now. Just hugs. and love. Lots and lots of love for everyone in our skiing community. We’re heading up to Alta right now to take some runs for Ryan. Maybe check out the secret lines he and Lars showed me two years ago that I’ve only skied with him, or just rally laps through the Kitty. This ones for you Ryan. Keep that beautiful smile on your face.
