really sucks. Someone found a dead snowboarder somewhere on Blue Mountain this morning. No info yet, but probably resulted from an injury and him being unable to get back to a trail the night before.

'Blue Mountain staff found the man — who was wearing a helmet — suffering from life-threatening injuries"

jesus, so he was already in bad shape when they got to him. I wonder if life threatening injuries were actual injuries sustained from a crash or if they meant that he was frostbitten and hypothermic on a deadly level.

He was 20 and from Caledon. The news article that I read said his friends reported him missing at 1 AM which I found really odd.

Its super surprising how often people die skiing in Ontario it seems to happen every season at least once.
