Johua Vigeant, 31 of Pembroke, New Hampshire died while snowboarding at Cannon Mountain on Sunday December 19, 2010, according to a story in the Nashua Telegraph. Cannon General Manager John DeVivo told the paper the following:
Vigeant was snowboarding with three other friends, and one reported the emergency at 1:36 p.m. to ski patrol. DeVivo said ski patrol found one friend performing CPR on Vigeant when they arrived. Vigeant was not wearing a helmet when he was found.
Local police and ski patrol are still conducting an investigation. This is reportedly the second on-snow death at Cannon in two weeks. Our thoughts are with Vigeant’s family and friends.

Even without all the background info I must say that I love my helmet. Even if the death was due to something unrelated to head trauma I still urge all skiers and snowboarders to protect the one brain they possess!
RIP Joshua Vigeant and all those we have lost to snow-related deaths!
