Whatever happened to these skiers?

I was just thinking about some of the up and coming skiers I used to like to watch ski.  It seems like some of them disappeared right when they were just about to hit it big.  So anyone know anything about what became of some of these guys?

Ben Grunow (Dynastar skier)
Derek Klick (I seem to remember a lot about him from east coast stuff back around 2000)
Heath Ordway (in a lot of TGR films)
Jon Reedy (used to post here a lot under the name Detective)
Dash Long
Jon Kozody
Iannick B
Philou

Grunow had a bad knee injury a while ago I remember. I saw him l over the summer actually. He is coaching at Stowe and enjoys coaching more than competing.

Too many Schrab Grabs, too many double backflips.  I remember they were big deal for Warren Miller and in Balance, but not much else.

I do know what happened to him.  He got an injury and was out for the season a few years ago.  Aramada stayed with him, but his injury kept him from making a full comeback, so he let them release him from his contract since he felt he couldn't contribute to his fullest ability.

I believe he is now a rep for an O2 (Oxygen) performance inhaler or energy drink company or something like that.

Mosely is on the radio every week, in fact I heard him on my way home form work today (Wed nights from 7-8 on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 28) it's funny hearing him talk, but he's still around and still skiing, plus doing the commentary on the Warren Miller movies.

A lot of people thought she wasn't that good and didn't deserve a pro model. Not sure where she is now though, probably still in France

David Crichton has Crohn's disease so unfortunately, he was forced into an early retirement...McMurray is rapping (see: Loose Cannon Playaz) and still skiing on the side. I'm guessing Shawn Sullivan is still working at the mountain (I forget which one at the moment) he worked at in The Front Line, and I don't remember what Raps is doing
