A snowboarder died at Whistler after hitting a boulder on a closed run. Yet another reminder to keep it safe, especially when there is not too much snow on the ground.

i know man, i was thinking the same thing... that is definitely no good... best rgds to the family for sure.

as for whistler having a rough start right before the olympics coming in... that does really suck... and also since i'm heading up there in about a week...

yea it sucks, and a 47 year old guy died for the same reason 2 days later. the rocks on whistler are deadly right now, i was maching down whistler downhill when i hit a random rock when there were none in sight, in the middle of the fucking run. ski popped off, turned 90, caught the edge, and WHAM goes my head on the ice. thank god for helmets, i could have had serious damage if i wasnt wearing one. oh yea and the rock kinda blew out my sidewall on my new anthems :@ and now my neck hurts

RIP to both guys
