You know, I've never read an eulogy where the deceased wasn't touted as the happiest and kindest person in the world and how everyone loved them.

Still, it's a dangerous sport and it's sad to see someone go.

A little bit of a harsh description of his passing, wouldn't you say? Not to mention there's already a thread on him dude.

Anyways, what a tragedy. My roommates and friends out here in Tahoe knew him from back east and were reminiscing about how great of a person and skier he was. Horrible to see these things happen.

i am deeply saddened to hear this. i watched his backflip via the Tour's live webcast. It was really a huge huck ... maybe 60 feet or so. he seemed to touch down with his feet first but then crash. it looked like soft snow but you can't tell from a  webcast. after his crash it looked as if he immediately tapped his head - a signal that he was ok - but then rolled over on his stomach and lay with his head in his hands facedown. the competition then stopped for quite a while as the ski patrol attended to him and took him off the mountain. when the comp resumed, the commentators mentioned that he was being air-lifted from the resort.
this is very sad. i wish his family, friends, and the freeride community the best.
