Spent many summers with him at Princes, amazingly good skier. I skied with him the night it happened, Think it was just before the pro-am. Came back to the club the next day to hear what happened. Feels like yesterday. Its an event that will never leave me, but unquestionably the bravest person I know. Straight up hero!.
Aidan is one of the coolest dudes around, has a wealth of knowledge and would be a massive asset to any company. what happened was tragic but doesn't take away from the fact that in his day he was good for a piece of 10.7 - epically good skier, hard working and very analytical about it. If I know him he'll push to get back to that level, he's doesn't understand the concept of 'give up'.
He's unlikely to know but within the UK, he has a massive following of friends and family that still talk about him (even though he left the UK many years ago) see him as an inspiration. he helped allot of people, He's just such a humble dude. He's unlikely to ever know that he was the reason that I got back into skiing after breaking my ankle for the 2nd time, so thanks mate. Not many people I look up to and seriously respect, Aiden is right there for me.
Little known fact; Aidan is phenomenal at beatboxing! (seriously, ask him to do it)
nothing but love - Mate, I hope life treating you well. Jay.
