how sad

Maybe this was already reported on and I missed it. How very sad, after making the recovery he did after his previous accident.

Yes, it is sad. He must have have had huge determination to be able to ski to the same standard after suffering significant brain injury.
I put up a link in the Helmet Debate thread on the 25th Feb. No-one made any acknowledgement or comment on this tragedy. Too much wibble going on to make space for discussion on skiing.

I watched an interview with him and he was one determined young man. Just lived to ski. Feel for his family.

I held back on posting - figured the name wouldn't mean much to most people here short of 'its sad' etc etc. I remember seeing a video of him trying to 're-learn' 360s off cliffs after his injury and he really was going for it. Proper commitment!

RIP.
