I am not a great skier, and I haven't been on the slopes for quite a while, but do they usually put trees on the runs? Even on Black Diamond runs?
I wonder if this gentleman was skiing "out of bounds"....

head-first in the well of a tree. I bet he drowned in the 24" of powder that fell this weekend. Sometimes if your skis don't fall off you can really struggle in this situation.

This is tragic, and very ironic, too.

Wow! Just WOW! A greenie attacked and killed by a tree! This is a great tragedy - no joke.
Here is a man who worked hard to help companies do what they need and want to do to stay in business, but to do it with a minimal harmful footprint on the environment. There's nothing "liberal" about that, my Freeper FRiends - the man was in business, serving other businesses!
Not only that, but he died skiing, a sport I love, and at Homewood, just about the most beautiful resort in Tahoe - it sits RIGHT on Lake Tahoe, giving you a view of the amazing blue lake the whole way down.
RIP. And let's show thoughtfulness on this.

Trees are on the edges of the runs. Get outta control and you will kiss one easily.
I’ve done it. It hurts. Some trails are pretty narrow, also.

Now it’s the trees that are killing us.

I'm guessing he wasn't wearing a helmet. Of course, depending on the speed he hit with, wearing one might have saved him, but still with brain injury.

I was just telling my daughter the dangers of tree wells while we were up sledding.
