46 is waaay too young

[sparky]

It is being reported that Ricky Hatton died by suicide and was found by his son this morning.

The 46 year old had had many addiction issues and went public last year with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts.

3/4 of those who die by suicide in the UK are men. Suicide is the biggest killer of men in the UK between 18 and 50.

Look after your mates. Look after yourselves.

Wow.

Hatton was a hell of a fighter and character.

RIP

@MiketheSnow How dear is it?

@MiketheSnow How dear is it?

Was very reasonable

Not as dear as Deer Valley but I only went for day trips

I was based in Park City

[pakman]

I’ve heard Park City has plenty of good terrain?

"For a moment I thought we were in trouble."

One of the greatest ever film endings. Rest well, Mr Redford.

Yeah it’s pretty good

Now a big area as it’s linked to The Canyons

I preferred Snowbasin (Olympic downhill venue) and Powder Mountain about an hour or so north out of Ogden

[Bovidae]

I was intending to do a re-watch of Spy Game and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This settles it.

RIP

Don’t know those. Thought you might have mentioned Snowbird.

[Smuts]

@sparky You keep thinking Butch, that’s what you’re good at.

Snowbird and Alta are excellent but too busy for my taste
