RIP Mitch Weber.

This post was updated on .
Sad news today, Mitch Weber, founder of TelemarkTips has passed.. Mitch, in my mind, was responsible for the 2nd resurgence of telemark skiing.. and for the popularity of skiing discussion forums, including this place.  

Ski in peace Mitch.

Ski in peace, Mitch. If you want to know a little more about the man, not to mention ponder some deep thoughts about ski forums and the like, read this relatively recent interview in Earn Your Turns:

Best quote: "Communicating successfully on web forums is not that hard, you just have to remember these five words: be humble and don’t argue. Oh, and avoid using the language of promotion, instead be informative and helpful."
