It says on that article that "there was an accident" but there are no details on how it happened. But still its pretty sad because its probably just the effect of one reckless skier/boarder.

A patroller friend of mine told me 4 people died a freeway during the 05-06 season. Breck keeps it under raps pretty well.

a while ago a mic-gavin was trying to go off the first jump and gap to the landing of the second jump. he started skating hard at the double chair and just straight line that shit. the poor bastard didnt make it though and consequently died because of it. rumour has it he was trying a screaming seamen too.
