Mary Scott King, a 50-year-old snowboarder from Huntington Beach, California died Saturday while riding in the backcountry near Mineral Creek in San Juan County, Colorado after falling backward into a creek, according to a story in the Montrose Press.
“Her head became lodged; head and helmet were caught under a rock in the creek. Guides tried to pull her out and had a difficult time getting her out of the water,” he said. “When they were finally able to get her out after about 8 to 10 minutes, she was pulse-less, breathless.”
Our thoughts are with Mary’s family and friends.

This is why you should always take a beer bong with you into the backcountry (it can double as a snorkel in emergency situations)
Wow “nigheist” not that funny. Somebody dies and you have to crack jokes about a beer bong. If that person was close to you and some inconsiderate prick said that how would you feel. You are not the only person in the world-self centered to the extreme!
