She received a Sherpa funeral in Katmandu.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/oct/02/us-extreme-skier-killed-himalayas-sherpa-cremation-hilaree-nelson

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.--E.Abbey

I thought I would share this podcast in which she describes her journey into ski mountaineering and various expeditions she went on. Amazing woman and athlete!

Very sad, but extreme skiing like solo technical climbing is for many an eventual ticket off the planet. I especially feel for her children as losing a Mom, especially one who seemed like a very nice human being, is a pretty terrible hit on their lives.

Passion has a dark side.

Art is an adventure.

For some reason deaths that happen while people are recreating are even sadder to me, than deaths by car accidents, or diseases or whatever. Condolences to her loved ones.
