University of Colorado Boulder junior Evan Massini, 20, died after hitting a tree while snowboarding on the Northstar run at Breckenridge Friday, November 18, 2011, according to a story on the Denver Channel and The Daily Camera.
[Summit County Coroner Joanne] Richardson said Massini was riding with friends when he collided with a tree and suffered massive internal injuries. He was wearing a helmet at the time. . . “He was doing what he loved to do,” said his father, Edward Massini. “He had just called us and said he got the bindings on his new snowboard fixed, so he could get back on the mountain.”
Massini, originally from Westbrook, Connecticut, has become the second snowboarder to die in the first month of the season. Our thoughts are with Massini’s family and friends.
