There are no words to express how saddened we are by this. We enjoyed seeing Lars' cheerful presence on the orienteering courses. Praying for you.

Dearest Lars' family,
I am deeply saddened by this news. I was with Lars last April skiing at Fairy Meadows. He was our dearest Tall Boy, as we dubbed his group. We knighted him the Telemark King with a Pink Furry Trapper hat and wings one night. He was kind, gentle & helped repair one of our group's telemark bindings. Besides being the most glorious and beautiful telemark skier!! I will be forever grateful for his calm demeanor & personal & physical strength during our Avalanche...

Dear Tania, Tobben and all of Lars' family,
Lars was a very special man, for us, knowing him as an engineer, brought an admiration for his quest for knowledge and talent working with earth sciences. We send to you each our condolences in this great loss.

Heartfelt condolences to you Tania, Tobben, Raye Ann, Kristen and Jan on the sudden loss of your beautiful son, husband and brother Lars. So unfair for an athlete dying young, though he was able to share his remarkable life to the fullest with all of you. God bless and keep you in your sorrow. Best regards, Jim Holen, (former Wasilla High Ski coach) and Family
