Snowboard instructor Keith McIntosh, 36, was testing new snowboard gear on Austria’s Kaunertaler Glacier on Tuesday April 5, 2009 “when he triggered a massive snowfall,” according to a story on the Daily Record.
His three British friends – who had been waiting on the peak for their turn – said Keith had barely gone 200ft when the snow-face fell away and engulfed him. . . Keith, of Clydebank, near Glasgow, was among Britain’s top snowboarding instructors and he moved to the French resort of Chamonix in 2002. . . He lived with his wife of seven years, Melanie, 37, and two-year-old son Arren.
Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
