Tributes began pouring in on social media last night for US skier Kasha Rigby, who is thought to have died in an avalanche in Kosovo. Though her death remains unconfirmed, several news outlets including Ski Magazine are reporting the victim was Rigby, a pioneer in extreme telemark skiing.
Kosovo Mountain Search and Rescue Service say they responded to a distress call at the Ski Center in Brezovica at 3:20p.m. on Tuesday afternoon during foggy and low visbility conditions. According to reporting by Vox news, the call came from an area known as “Eagle’s Nest” within the ski center from a British male who said his wife may have been caught in a slide. Search and rescue teams later uncovered the body of a woman.
