In March, 2011 we mentioned that Bob and Cheryl Zider, the parents of 15-year-old snowboarder who died from snow suffocation while snowboarding at Tahoe, were holding a design competition to help find a binding that would have allowed their 15-year-old son Chris to separate from his snowboard after falling. They hope a new design could help save lives.
The Zider’s have now picked four finalists in the competition. Scott Nisbet, Brad Brinson, Thomas Trudel, and Adam Weisberg all have designs that they thing could win them the $10,000 prize. Click on their names to view the designs and let us know what you think in the comments. We’re not sure there’s anything in the designs to get all that excited about.

Dick Reuter, a member of Kirkwood Mountain Resort, died Monday, July 4, 2011 at the resort, according to a story in the Tahoe Daily. Reuter was 88 years old.
“Dick Reuter was a mountain man’s mountain man,” said Dave Myers, vice president of operation for Kirkwood Mountain Resort. “A real pioneer and tough as nails, Dick basically single-handedly installed chair #11, ‘The Reut’ of which the lift is named after him.” . . . Reuter’s mountain resort career began in the late 1950’s in Squaw Valley after a long career as a trapper and logger in the Lassen Park area, Dalzell said. . . Reuter helped fall trees to clear ski runs at Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley and worked as a ski patrol leader at Squaw Valley during the 1960 Winter Olympics where he met his wife, Jeanne, and started a family.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
