Be careful, 'stream skiers.....

While this may be a freak accident, you need to be very cautious around streams and drainages in off the map/OB tree skiing. There could be 4 ft of water under that snow bridge.....getting soaked on a cold day isn't good.

That is freaky and scary stuff.On my many catskiing trips to BC there are lots of hidden streams lurking below the usual 10 feet of snowpack.I've been stuck upside down a few times and not been able to get myself out.

Crazy story...some serious bad luck there.

Almost in a way sounds like the helmet let her survive the fall/break through the ice, but then ultimately was the cause of her demise with it's hindering getting her head back out of the water

Freak, freak accident
