Mike has been an extreme back country skier for many years.  He lived in Glacier WA and skied the Northern Cascades back country.  He also spent many years skiing Mt Hood (Oregon) and the Wasatch Mountains (Alta) in Utah.

Mike was also a dedicated environmentalist and member of the Sierra Club,  He often got frustrated with what he saw as too much corporate greed and disregard for nature.

Have you seen him?

Poster has brought a couple of possible sightings - but nothing definitive.  One caller in December said he met Mike in Costa Rica (someone from a "western state" who skied) and that he was heading to Panama.

He who is fearless in being bold

Will meet with his death;

He who is fearless in being timid will

Stay alive

Heaven hates what it hates,

Who knows the reason why?
