The joy of the mountains helps compensate for the daily grind of tragedy that’s all too much part of our world. Here at WildSnow we try to inculcate that joy in everything from our gear reviews to our trip reports. But today, I think it’s appropriate to simply have a quiet time of pondering things, as well as offering our deepest and most heart-felt condolences to the loved ones and friends of those lost in our most tragic terror attack since 9-11, Orlando.
We’ll leave the comments turned off for this post, in honor of reflection. Best wishes to all of you visiting WildSnow.com, embrace your loved ones, strengthen your friendships. Such can all go away so easily…
