In a tragic turn of events, the skiing world mourns the loss of Katherine 'Kasha' Rigby, a respected competitive skier and telemark skiing pioneer. Rigby, aged 54, met her untimely death in an avalanche at the Ski Center in Brezovica, Kosovo, while enjoying a day on the slopes with her fiancé, Magnus Wolfe Murray.
The incident occurred when Rigby, who was known for her daring and high-speed skiing style, dropped in at the top of the run, triggering a small avalanche that swept her off the trail and into the trees. Despite Murray's quick efforts to locate her and administer CPR, Rigby sadly succumbed to her injuries, which included internal bleeding and lung damage.
