Witnessed a similar accident during the same competition at Snowbird.
Related the experience to the group with the question as to whether this was an ethical sport. Competitor was very badly hurt. It took more than an hour to secure him for the helo ride to the valley. From where I sat, I could hear his skis hit the rock and his bones breaking - two distinct sounds - SLAP/CRACKLE. This is an unusual sport, given the inherent risk of skiing dangerous terrain "on sight" at the ragged edge of control by skiers of widely varying experience and skill (granted, they're all talented).For downhill, they at least prep the course to some degree of passive restraint. You may break you neck in the net, but at least they won't be peeling you off a cliff face. At Snowbird they were trudging off to a diffent part of the mountain every morning. That's a lot of new variables to deal with each day, and not much time to assess them. A corralary might be competitive BASE jumping or soloing. Anyone know if the sponsoring organization keeps count of broken bodies? At any rate, I admit it's interesting to watch, especially through the sterility of the video camera. Being there in person can be a little tougher, especially when they fall and don't get up.
