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.

Snowcat tour

in Forum: For the Love of Al Paul

Hi Al. Julie & I were talking over the weekend about the Snowcat tour you gave us a couple years ago. You had us meet you at the Rendezvous Lodge about 3:30. You took us to 7th Heaven and down some really steep, tight spots where you scared the hell out of us. After about a hour and a half or so in the Snowcat, you dropped us back off at Rendezvous. We hadn't realized that you had done it, but you had made us our very own private run of fresh corduroy down Jersey Cream to Zig Zag. I'll never forget that feeling of being the only 2 skiers on the mountain as the sun was going down. It was like we had the entire mountain to ourselves. Al, you made us feel special that day. It was amazing, just like you!
