The sports world is mourning skiing champion Kyle Smaine, who was killed in an avalanche in Japan, where he’d spent the past 10 days being photographed on the slopes, according to photographer Grant Gunderson.
“Yesterday was my absolute worst nightmare scenario,” Gunderson explained on Instagram Sunday.
According to the photographer, he, Smaine and a third skier were enjoying the last day of an adventure at the Tsugaike Kogen Ski Resort that left him too tired to join his partners for another run.
