When JP and Andreas were caught in an avalanche they were filming a project they started with Daniel Rönnbäck and Bjarne Salen called Apogée.  In a beautiful tribute to their lives, Bjarne finished the film and you can watch below.  Remember that life is precious.

From Bjarne’s Vimeo Page:

On September 29th 2014, I lost my two best friends JP Auclair and Andreas Fransson in an avalanche on Monte San Lorenzo near the border of Chile and Argentina. It has now been one year since the accident.
I created a film to celebrate and remember our lovely friends. This film is from our last years together where we skied, worked and had amazing adventures together. We went to Chamonix, Norway and Chile.
Andreas, JP, Daniel Rönnbäck and I started a project together called, Apogée, which means – The highest point in the developing of something. The project was Andreas and JP’s idea, travel to magnificent destinations and create beautiful, touching ski movies to inspire others around the world.
