"Last month, Mr. Coombs slipped off a cliff and fell 490 feet to his death. He was 48. He was trying to rescue Chad VanderHam, his 31-year-old protégé and skiing partner from the United States. Mr. VanderHam had gone over the same cliff moments earlier. He also died.

why did we only hear about coombs.. and not his buddy as well? and it sucks that skiin only made ny times cause someone died..

RIP Fellow skiers.
