This sucks.

Wow, tragic. He built a real-deal ski shop out in the middle of nowhere. Years ago I was ecstatic to find they had a replacement buckle for my boots.

What a sad ending to this great life story:

Larry was awesome. He made it possible for me to keep skiing- foot/ankle pain was making things impossible.
