We have just learned that professional big-mountain skier Billy Poole died today in a skiing-related accident in Utah.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Poole was filming a jump between Brighton and Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon and “possibly hit some rocks” after landing. Avalanche activity is not suspected in the death.
The hard-working 28-year-old was popular among freeskiers, and has appeared many times in Freeskier magazine.
Our sincerest sympathies are with Billy’s family and friends.
We will bring you more info as soon as it becomes available.
