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.

My cousin Al “out west”

in Forum: For the Love of Al Paul

I always refer to your gang as the cousins “out west”. I’m so thankful for social media as over the years I’ve got a glimpse into all of your adventures and it’s certainly been a force In keeping us all connected and up to date.

I am so glad you got to meet my girls last year and we got to spent some time with you. I hoped one day to make it out west with my crew and the Cousins “out west” could show us the ropes- although time is not on our side- know that you will be showing us the ropes in love and spirit. Your positive disposition, vulnerability, and grace is much to be admired.

You kicked ass.
