I recognize that is pretty heavy for a mid-holiday article, but it's on point for our topic today.

Last week (Christmas Eve to be exact), I lost a friend to an avalanche in Colorado. It was the first avalanche death for the state this year. He made one small miscalcuation and our community lost a friend, a ski buddy and a cycling partner. Most of you reading this have lost someone close to you. It's never easy.
