i think he meant that at least he died due to natural causes.. not because he fucked up a jump or a drop..

This is really sad. I mean that.
I really could not imagine a worse way for a young childs day to go as to be skiing with his/her father and watch him collapse and pass.
Today there may have also been a death at Whistler/Blackcomb as Patrol was performing CPR on a victim at the base. I can only hope that this life was saved, although unlikely (a few years in major trauma leads me to this conclusion) and I grieve for this persons family and their loss.
It is always a sad day when someone who just came out to enjoy the gifts that mother nature has offered is taken.

2 heart attacks, 2 slid into trees/rocks, 1 went 130 ft off a 40 foot jump and the other one was a patroller that got caught in an avalanche in the backcountry.
