Skier death in Smuggler's Notch
Just learned my friend Alec Stall died skiing a chute in the notch yesterday. He was with the rest of the Meathead films crew skiing in "the ultimates"- deep past Hell Brook. I guess he skied a shot, got caught off balance and his sluff hit him, carrying him over several large icefalls and into some trees.
Alec excelled in every activity he entered into, and was a good friend to have. I looked up at him in my first years at UVM for his knowledge of the mountains around here. Just a reminder to myself and everyone else- take care. Keep his family and girlfriend in your thoughts. I hate to keep adding on top of the bad news we've had this season, but I thought I'd let this out.
