Here's to hoping he comes out as well as this Skier did in Lake Tahoe this weekend after getting lost going over a ridgeline at Alpine Meadows. They commend the skiier for deciding to walk back up his ski track line to try and make it back before they found him. Saying going downhill more in that area would of been a way worse recovery

Sensation is off the Sunrise triple and has a pretty steep headwall on it. Not sure what cluster of trees he was skiing but they would be pretty tight in that area. Wonder if he may have slid off the slope and into the woods

damn. Found in the woods off a blue trail. Tree accident? I think they initially thought he went hiking off the top of the sunrise lift

Thoughts to his family.

Here in NH we've had 5 fatalities so far this year. Picture takers, under prepared hikers, ect...

This article is from Sept and we've had 2 more recently (Vanderbilt 21yo student, guy last weekend fell 150 feet while taking a picture of his wife)

I remember that trail so well because last March I did a day at "Soli" that forced us to ski the lower lifts (Sunrise, Apex and Moonbeam) and we spent a lot of time over off Sunrise. I'm tellling you that drop on Sensation is one where you get to the top of it and say "OOH". It was a little slick that day I skied it so I can see how someone could wipe and slide off the side.
