I haven't heard any information as to how the injured snowboarder is doing.Â
Get well soon J-Lo your Stevens family is praying for you!
So sad. When I worked in Tahoe years ago, we lost a snowboarder who hit a tree. When the helicopter comes in, it's serious. Best thoughts to him and his family.Â
Ouch. Hope he was wearing a helmet.
Hope he turns out ok and gets back on the slopes soon.
