Another ski death....Please be careful

[dlague]

Wow another one so quickly! So Killington 2, Sugarbush 1 and Sugarloaf 1. All 23 years old or younger - sad to hear.

Love how its guaranteed in these threads for one or two people to try and pass the blame to the ski resort.

Skiing is inherently dangerous.

In most cases, I am sure that it was out of control skiing on hard conditions. Cannot blame the Resort for ice!

Everyone please wear a Helmet when on the slopes.

Everyone please wear a Helmet when on the slopes.

Unless your head hits first into a tree/signpost a helmet does nothing to protect you. I don't profess to know the injuries that caused these deaths but more than likely they were caused by internal injuries to the chest/abdominal areas. Either way it's always sad to hear these things.Ski defensively.

Sucks to hear bout these things when everyone is just there to have some fun. I was at K-town the day that kid hit the tree. I didn't see or hear anything about it there though. I saw it online the next day

I work with a woman who knew this girl. She's a friend of the family. Yesterday before service we were talking about some ski/snowboard trips we have planned when she brought this up. Today I noticed this post and realized it was the girl she was talking about. It sucks. 19 years old. Not that much younger than me. She's from Rhode Island and was attending UVM. A reminder of the fragility of life. Please be safe. Respect the sport and be aware of the risks involved. My heart goes out to Kendra's family.

I feel horrible. I didn't know her personally but I can imagine what it's like to be a friend or a family member of hers. It's tragic. The loss of a loved one is a true representation of pain and suffering. Depending on the situation, it is a pain that can take a lifetime to overcome, and an event that can change a person, hopefully for the better. As a fellow skiing/snowboarding enthusiast I can relate to her. We all can. A person died doing something that brings so many of us joy and happiness. I look at it like this: she spent the last day/hours of her life leading up to the accident surrounded by her family, doing what she loved. SKI SAFE. RIDE RESPECTFULLY.

I was at hunter mtn Friday and a snowboarder lost control and hit a snow gun. Not sure what happened but I hope he/she is ok. They were airlifted to Albany.
