Crazy. Didn't look like this crash would've hurt him as bad as it did. I've seen crashes much more violent that people walk away from with no injuries at all.
Obviously I'm wrong...but you would thing that all that fencing did a good job of buffering the crash and reducing injury. I wonder if is was the velocity of the spinning that cause him his brain damage or spinal compression???
Rip, I rode up the lift with you back on mt. Hood, as a 14 year old kid, 44 now and just want to say you were an inspiration to me ,, and still are.
RIP Bill. Thanks for the memories and all that you, Dennis, Brad and Scott taught me here in Crested Butte.

RIP Billy. Great memories on Mt. Hood.
I was there that day standing on corkscrew as a young ski racer. It was horrific to watch.

Good question
One crash altered his life for the remainder.
It brings a tear of joy when seeing this. :)
Huh

RIP awful crash on Big Mountain, Montana
the overall compression should be expected, but i'm not sure about that sudden trough.
Do we still count this as an alpine skiing death due to dying of the crash’s consequences?
I would. His death was a very proximate result of injuries from the accident that he never recovered from.
His entire life was completely altered and he never fully recovered. So me this means the answer is yes.
That patch of ice crippled this skier never fails at these stupid speeds this is very dangerous speed junkies love it that way
One of the last races in Whitefish (I believe). Fog is the norm there.
You play with speed win stupid prizes
Bummer 🤪
I cheer everytime I see this crash. His arrogance brought him to his demise. Good Riddance Bill.
Buddy I think you need to check into a clinic
@@k.rt.s exactly but I think it's too late for him
you secretly love him and respect his arrogance , and it obviously makes you insecure and therefore you lash out in anger.
Very common .
Weirdo
you sound like the guy who got his crush stolen by Bill in highschool
