Pro snowboarder Aaron Robinson was reportedly killed Tuesday, July 19, 2011 while riding in the backcountry near El Colorado, Chile, according to a story on ESPN/Action.
Arnau Fernández, the marketing manager at Valle Nevado, Chile, . . . said that Robinson was doing road laps in the area known as Santa Teresita when he fell and hit his head on rocks.
Robinson was the two-time winner of the North Face Masters Tour and was obviously no stranger to big mountain riding. Our thoughts are with his family (especially his brother Jason) and all of his friends.
