Pro skier dies while freeskiing
Another professional rider, John Nicoletta, has died after a fall. Apparently, he lost control after a 20-foot cliff drop and was propelled into an exposed rocky area. The tragedy happened at a US Freeskiing Series competition in Alyeska (Alaska) on Friday. The 27-year-old from Aspen is the third pro rider to die this season. Extreme skier Billy Poole died from injuries sustained in a cliff jump during a film shoot in Utah in January. Wallace Westfeldt was killed a week ago from a jump during a commercial shoot in a backcountry area behind Aspen Highlands.
