R.I.P., Telemon
.
We lost a friend to many in the
Telemarktips community when Bob Wiebe passed away last week,
after a fall in whiteout conditions on Mt. Hood. Bob was an active
and longtime participant on our TelemarkTalk Forum, where he
shared info and cool photos from his many backcountry trips in
the Pacific Northwest. Bob also sent us many pictures in recent
years, some of which we used as cover shots, and all of which
we enjoyed viewing here at the Telemarktips.com World Headquarters.
As a tribute to Bob, we thought it would be nice to go through
the files and post a few of our favorites from the many emails
received from "telemon" (as he was known on the Forum).
An enthusiastic telemark skier and
climber, Bob Wiebe will surely be missed by many, including all
of his friends here at Telemarktips.
I only have a couple of heroes in
this sport, and they have accomplished many great feats, but
the folks who inspire me most, and remind me what it's all about,
are the true enthusiasts, those who are out there living
and giving, and sharing the stoke. Bob was one of those folks.
Rest in peace our friend, we were
lucky to know you. |
