Fellow Patrollers,

Today Wintergreen Ski Patrol lost one of their own. David Stolze suffered a cardiac arrest while skiing at Big Sky, Montana. Dave was skiing with Ed Pouncey and Nici Singletary on a beautiful, gladed run in fresh powder when he collapsed...

Dave died doing what he loved to do, in a place that he loved, and with the people he loved. He is already sorely missed. Dave asked me to take a picture of him 2 days ago at the top of Lone Peak at 11,166 feet. I wondered who the picture was for... now I know: the picture is for you, and all his patrol family.

Rest in Peace, Dave!
