Thought I would post this here in case anyone was interested in reading it. I think it's an incredible tribute to JP and Andreas, and one of the more insightful pieces I've come across about skiing and taking risks.

Having lost both of my biological brothers before the age of 30, this little bit right here actually brought a tear to my eye.

"The ones lost will never come back, but believing they will be waiting for the rest of us, somewhere beyond our physical realms, provides us with solace, and for some even becomes a reason not to fear death. The human mind is a powerful one, and there is no manual, no method, and no teacher, that could help us process the thoughts we are faced with when the ones close to us cease to exist. While we simply have to find what works for each and everyone of us, we must never forget them, because the only place we could ever truly prove they are still around, is in our own minds."
