Al took me in when I drove across canada and I crashed on his couch in staff housing until I could settle in. The first day he took me in the trees off green chair and blew my mind. No way I was keeping up but slowly I learned to follow him and now tree skiing is my favorite thing. That winter of 1994 was the best year of my life (sorry judith) and I will never forget the amazing season we had. Al has always stayed true to his values and staying in whistler is the best thing he could have done. Your continued passion for skiing and mountain biking is an inspiration after all these years. I am jealous of the life you have led and enjoyed every time we got to ski together. Your laugh is infectious and you are a true whistler legend.
