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

Craig Coker had a segment in Yeah Dude with Tim Russell, and he had a few shots in Realtime. Emil Coty is doing stuff with level 1. I don't even know who the other person is. To the people wondering about Mike Wilson, he is doing product development and team management things for Lib Tech skis, and he is still shredding, he was at the Poorboyz Schweitzer jib jam last year. Someone posted an interview of him a few days ago on here.

It's a sad story, read it if you want to be depressed.  It just goes to show the difference between good and bad doctors.

If I recall correctly Jon Reedy retired from skiing because he could make WAY more money working with a friend (or friends) on a tech company. That was a couple of years ago though.
