Ian was always calm, no matter how treacherous the conditions. He gave great confidence to tackle the formidable. He was patient with the many ‘freedman freezes’, and talked me down from many little mounds. He showed us how to ski in control, and with precision. The table at the Chalet was legendary, and I always felt that it gave our young family a great experience to make their way in the world. Ian was always thoughtful, and considerate. They were great days, great sking, great company, and Chalet Chataigne lives on as momentous memories that set the foundation for many days on the mountain. He will be sadly missed by all. A legend
