Professional free skier C.R. Johnson, died in a fall while skiing a steep chute at California's Squaw Valley USA on Wednesday. Jim Rogers, a member of the Lake Tahoe-area resort's ski patrol, said Johnson was skiing with a group of friends Wednesday when he fell while trying to negotiate a "very, very tight, rocky area." The 26-year-old Johnson fell face first, then spun around and struck the back of his head on rocks. He was wearing a helmet at the time. Ski patrol members were called shortly before 2 p.m., but were unable to revive him. Placer County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Ausnow said Johnson died on the slopes. |
