North Vancouver, B.C., December 11, 2009 - Management and staff at Arc’teryx Equipment Inc. are deeply saddened by the death of Guy Lacelle at the Bozeman Ice Festival yesterday. Sources say Lacelle was swept off the climb by an avalanche that occurred around 9:30am. He leaves behind his beloved wife Marge and his constant companion, his dog Jade.
A two time winner of the Ouray Ice Festival climbing competition, Guy’s accomplishments earned him the Banff Centre for Mountain Culture’s Summit of Excellence Award.
John Irvine, Director of International Sales, says, “Guy was a great, great person. He epitomized dignity and integrity. His Zen climbing style was peaceful, relaxed, and smooth; and he was always happy and positive. His passion for adventure and drive to see and explore new places and cultures made Guy a real pioneer, and his charming personality made him a pleasure to work with.”
