Retired avalanche forecaster Liam Fitzgerald’s book sees print … The Avalanche Review

.

Liam was an old school forecaster who spent most of his working life in Little Cottonwood Canyon keeping the skiing and driving public safe from avalanches. This is a life story with a great narrative that every snow viewer should devour. True Avalanche Hunter.

Rod,

You sure this wasn’t part of a martini experiment? Next time try vodka or gin, shaken not stirred. One 🫒 This winter has sure been a doozy!

So nice to hear of Liam’s path after all these years.

I knew him from his Squaw Valley days. I got my first real job offer in the film bizz

to come to Aspen and work in the summer of 74. Liam was already at Snowbird and I crashed on his couch on the drive out to Aspen. He told me I could get in on the ground floor of the Snowbird scene if I wanted …..it looked very attractive, but I said I promised I would show up in Aspen and try out this other job first.

One of those forks in the road I guess.
