Whoa... I like to think that expiring while doing something you love
is a good way to go, but exiting this life so young is rough.

Condolences to his family in Ontario,
who have a legacy of ski racing.

Doubt he felt any pain, so there's that.

Is it wrong that I just rewound and watched it ten times while eating dinner?

Yes.

Bad year for alpine skiing, especially for Canada losing two skiers this year.

I was hoping to ski the cross course at my local hill today, but they were running a boardercross event on it.

Sad day, but skicross is still ridiculously fun.

I wonder what these course designers actually discuss in their safety meetings other than the perfect placement of the Audi advertisements.

Yea. Those so-called safety nets obviously weren't safe. And he was trying to avoid some huge ass pillar with presumably some sort of electronics built into it. I'm guessing the could've been further away from the lines.
