Bill, I have to take issue with the "Darwin at work..."...
This guy was a professional. He lived and breathed this stuff. He was skiing a run that he had skied before and many others have as well. It was routine, but something happened.
Darwin is like eating your winning lotto ticket, just because the airplane can't (and wasn't supposed) to pay...
P.S. In the '80s we had "Skate or die!"... The same has always applied to skiing... "Ski or die!"...
