Proof that even with accurate evaluation of conditions, the mountain's still a very dangerous place.

RIP.

RIP

This just goes to show how dangerous our sport really is. This guy was a pro who knew his shit. He followed all the protocol and nonetheless lost his life on a slope that, to everyones best knowledge, was safe to ski. Be careful out there guys and girls. Condolonces to Aaron's family.

Obviously a tragedy, but it's great to hear that his organs were able to be donated and will go on to save someone else's life. RIP Aaron and condolences to his family
