KILLINGTON - A 23-year-old skier from New
Hampshire has died after losing control on an intermediate trail at a
Vermont resort and crashing into trees.
State police say Terence Scott, of Nashua, was skiing down the mountain with family and friends Saturday afternoon at Killington Resort when he crashed, losing his helmet in the process.
Police say Scott was immediately attended to by an emergency medical technician, a doctor and a nurse. He was unconscious throughout treatment and was pronounced dead at the mountain.
Scott was described as an expert skier. Witnesses tell police that just before the crash, Scott was speeding down the hill and had tried to turn onto a connector trail while avoiding another skier.

[From Boston.com: "Moving at fast speeds on the intermediate-level High Road Trail, Scott
avoided colliding with another skiier while trying to turn onto a
connector trail. He then lost control and crashed into “multiple trees,”
police said. His helmet fell off in the process. The other skiier has
not been identified."
Comment: Interesting that it's the AP reporting this and not a local.
