It seems unusual that there should be 2 car related accidents so close together.  I'm speaking, of course, about Riley Poor.  I haven't heard of any high-profile athlete deaths while skiing since the ski community lost Billy Poole last year.  It is good to see how much feedback this thread is getting, people that don't know Travis (like myself), but can still connect to this tragedy.

I still laugh everytime I see that shot of his superfront through the tree. Already missing you at the hill, Trav.

i had never meet or heard of Travis before today but was truly saddened to hear the news of this tragedy.  He sounded like a amazing person and skier.  i hope justice is served to the murderer who brought about this tragedy upon us and send my condolences to his family and friends.
RIP Travis Steeger

Why not?  I mean if everyone seems to agree it was on par with pro segments, why not include in the armada team edit (if they make one, kind of like Atomic's "44 days").  Maybe edited a bit more, but what an amazing memorial that would be.

this is horrible news. I have never met travis but from seeing his videos and reading about him I feel like I have lost a friend. The ski community definitely has lost someone special. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
