GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 A young woman died today in a tree well at Jackson hole the second death so far this season at the resort and both were females who died. This occurred next to sundance which is a blue and the other death occured off the intermediate apres vous slopes. http://www.tetongravity.com/story/ski/breaking-skier-dies-at-jackson-hole-moutain-resort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The blue runs at Jackson Hole are the most dangerous..the easiest blue is as steep and fast as razors. The groomed double blues are like hold on for your lyfe helmet whistling 40 meter radius GSS turns. Its ambassador Tommy Moes stomping grounds for the last two decades. We witness countless skiers every trip go ass over teakettle on blue groomers and these are awkward twisting falls..I know my first visit to Jackson hole I was a bit taken aback by the steepness of some of the herb routes. Be careful everybody. We all wanna ski for a long long time. Always sad when a skier or rider passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kragan Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Tree wells are nasty. I fell into one face first on my first trip west. Scared the shit out of me and I really struggled to get out. I wish someone would have warned me about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wow! You're lucky to have gotten out as those things are death traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycore Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Tore my MCL in a tree well at Keystone off the cat skiing thing..... Wasn't fun getting out of the tree well, nor getting down with the torn MCL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
