My friends and I went on a two-day skiing trip to Blue Mountain yesterday and we came back tonight and the day which we arrived was the day in which this article flew all over the news. We were scared sh!tless to go on the slopes after hearing the news, but we went anyway. But still quite alarming nonetheless. :scared:

:mellow: Yeah that's not good. I'm kind of surprised it actually doesn't happen more often. I remember when I went skiing a long time ago I was always worried about stopping, or just navigating around things when on a trail, like trees. Yo are going pretty fast on those things.

That's awful! I wanted to learn to ski someday, but it sounds really dangerous! I guess she was going quite fast and died from the impact or something? :( RIP. :(

Don't worry. She went out of bounds to a terrain she wasn't even supposed to be on. And I skiied for the first time on Friday too, and I did fine. I'm still alive.

 

Honestly, she died because she was stupid. It's sad, but she was stupid.
