Brooks Ralph


It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the tragic loss of Brooks Ralph, who lost his life while backcountry skiing at Stowe, Vermont on Feb 20, 2024. Brooks was a vibrant soul, full of youthful energy and passion for life.

Brooks rode the 401 for several years and was known be all as that fast kid who always pushed the limits up front.  He and his Dad would be in the hotel well ahead of the rest of the riders.   

Brooks will be deeply missed by his loving family, and the entire 401 extended family, who cherished him dearly.

In his pursuits, Brooks exemplified courage, determination, and a zest for life that inspired everyone he encountered. Whether carving through fresh powder, zooming on his favorite road bike, or sharing laughter with friends, he lived each moment to the fullest, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable memories.

As we mourn the loss of Brooks, let us also celebrate the light he brought into our lives.  May his adventurous spirit continue to guide us, reminding us to embrace each day with passion and gratitude.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Brooks' family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the cherished memories they shared and the love that will forever surround them. Brooks' spirit will live on in our hearts, inspiring us to live boldly and cherish every moment.
