Sorry to hear.

++++VIBES+++ It always sucks to lose a parent. It's been about 25 years since my dad left us, and I usually think of him every day. Especially when I look in the mirror.

Very sad. A time for mourning. When she returns to the circuit, I hope she and the team will go out there and win one for the gipper.

 

[DocGKR]

Wow....that is incredibly sad news.

Rough year of passings for the Shiffrin family.

First her nana in November and now her father--only 65 years old.

This is really terrible. Really tough for her and the family. Hoping for the best for them. Real fans will get it if she needs to take extensive time off.

Very Sad at 65 he was a young man.

Today at the On Snow portion of SIA the news broke and the mood was immediately changed.

Somehow I avoided the news until now, but wow, just so incredibly surprising and depressing for MS and the ski world. I can't even imagine losing my father at such a fairly young age. Positive vibes for MS.

I'm not sure how you missed it. I heard conversation about it several times throughout the day.

This NYT article is worth reading.

Saw that last night and loved it. Makes me an even bigger Mikaela fan!
Never met this man, and I really wish I had.

Does anyone know what happened? I read head trauma.

Does anyone know what happened? I read head trauma.

I heard he was doing some kind of work on a ladder and fell from the ladder. Of course, that could all be hearsay.

All I know is that he was shoveling snow from the roof and fell. Not sure what the trauma was.
