Today, Micheal Crim of Florida missed a turn on Angel's Rest trail (intermediate) and skied into a tree...

Another sad story... He wasn't wearing a helmet and died of trauma to his head and pelvis.

Here at Bachelor's Gulch they've made helmets mandatory since the first death at Breck. Accidents happen, wear a helmet.

Sad stuff, always seems to happen.  People don't die on black or double blacks.  People die on blues.

God that sucks.  Worst Christmas ever for that family, and I'm sure Christmas will be ruined for years to come.
