April 17, 2009 - recreating Fatality at Thompson Pass

Herve Mazieres, 32, of France died after skiing off a steep embankment, rolling and striking rocks, six miles in from Mile 29 while skiing. While not in Thompson Pass, that's the closest location we can find. He was a client of a heli-ski company who apparently had veered off course. He was properly equipped with safety gear but still fell a significant distance.
