On Thursday June 10th, 2021, in the twelfth round of a ten year match, just before the ding of the bell, Al Paul packed up his big heart, stubborn soul, radiant smile, crossed the ropes, and walked away from his battle with brain cancer.

Al left the world the way he lived in it, on his own terms and with his wife and son by his side. “Armed with will, and determination and grace too.”

He is neck deep in powder now, or shooting the round of his life with any angel lucky enough to join him.

Al wanted everyone to know that life is beautiful, worth every adventure you

say yes to, and a perfect day can be as large as a long walk up a mountain or as simple as a movie day on the couch with the people you love. Also (and he really can’t stress this enough): He was the best skier on the mountain.

in Forum: For the Love of Al Paul

Hi Al,

As I write this I am taken back to the early 90's spending time at Citta's, the Alpine house, the boot...Many adventures on bikes and many smiles and laughs shared between friends. You have always had the most smiley eyes and the best head of hair in town...I appreciate the time you always have to say hello and share a laugh together. Al, you are an inspiration and a fighter! Please know that your beautiful boy and wife will be held and loved by our Whistler family.
