Terrible news. I read on another site that he was from Cold Spring and in his twenties.

Ugh

So sad

Too many people are skiing areas they have no business being in, and too many skiers don't understand how dangerous the sport truly is.

Kingslug on FTO... I think he considers Stowe his home... said something like "I know that area, and I stay away from it."

At least don't go it alone

While I'm not aware of this particular skiers abilities, he certainly made a poor decision to go in there solo. That's a recipe for what happened.

A skier who was reported missing at Stowe Mountain Resort was found dead in a steep, wooded out-of-bounds area late Tuesday night, police said Wednesday.

Brooks Ralph, 27, of Cold Springs, New York, was reported missing around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said. He was last seen at the resort. Search crews found his body at about 11:45 p.m.

His body was taken to the office of the state's chief medical examiner to determine the cause of death. But police said the preliminary investigation indicates that his death was an accident.

Yup.
When leaving from skiing Tuesday pm glanced in the left side mirror & saw ski patrol controlling a sled at the base with a person on it. Doubt it was practice.

Thanks to the ski patrollers and the rescue folks. It ain’t EZ.
