Due to very high snowfalls and very  weak snowpack the alps have become a  very avalanche prone area. 
Courchevel  added itself to the list of resorts including  Chamonix and Val dÃIsere to have  avalanche related fatalities. Earlier this  week Tim was caught in a fatal  avalanche while skiing over in 1650.
He will be greatly missed by everyone  in the resort of 
Courchevel to which not  only was he the door man for the 
Kalico  but a close friend of all the workers.
As a sign of respect on my behalf I  would like to dedicate this  issue to his memory, where every he is  now.
