Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Billy Poole (Salt Lake Tribune)
A professional extreme skier died yesterday in Utah doing stunts for a Warren Miller film. Billy Poole died when he took a bad line coming down a mountain between Solitude and Brighton ski resorts and landed on an exposed rock face instead of the soft snow. Search and rescue crews helicoptered him to hospital. But, officials at the University of Utah Hospital said that he died at 1:30 pm, about 2 hours after the accident occurred.

The 28-year-old Poole was sponsored by Salt Lake City-based Black Diamond Equipment Limited, a maker of ski and climbing gear. The company’s Chief executive Peter Metcalf described Poole as a rising star among big-mountain skiers....

There seems to be certain inevitability about some of these tragedies - almost as though death is only thing that will stop them following their passion. Sad Icouldn't contemplate doing such stunts - I'm far too cowardly - but that's probably my in built circuitry doing it's job of keeping me alive for as long as possible.

Thats really sad, but at least he died doing what he loved.

Although no-one really wants to die, I think thats a fairly honourable way to die.

RIP
