Ski Area Fatalities -2010-11 Ski Season to date: 3/26/11

This list is not guaranteed to be accurate. The information is found from web searches and news dispatches. If you have a source for information on any fatality please leave a comment.

Interesting Facts:

Three tree well deaths, the same as last year (2009-10) and one more than 2008-09 season
The last 45 days have all been skier deaths
You can do your own helmet analysis, however, it still appears that helmets do not help with regard to fatalities.
Most causes of death are speculation. Very few reports can be found with autopsy reports.

I can not see anything that would indicate how or why people are dying, other than hitting stationary objects (trees).
