Skiing lost a legend yesterday, November 13th at Snowbird, UT.  Pro skier Jamie Pierre was snowboarding in the Gad Valley area of Snowbird, when he triggered an avalanche that carried him hundreds of feet through rocky terrain.  Pierre was perhaps most widely known for his cliff-jumping, including a world-record 255 foot send near Grand Targhee, WY.  Not just a cliff-hucker, Pierre was a fixture of the ski scene for years, filming with countless still photographers and for ski movies from Teton Gravity Research, Warren Miller and more.  Jamie will be missed, our thoughts go out to his friends and family.
