After being buried in an avalanche last week in Chile, Swedish big mountain skier Mathilda Rapaport has died.
Rapaport was a rising star in the ski world, a respected colleague, friend and competitor with a fierce determination to test her own limits. “What I really want when I’m skiing is to exceed […] my own expectations of what I’m capable of,” Rapaport said.
Her sponsor Red Bull has posted a tribute to Rapaport along with a collection of social media posts from her friends and fans. From our side, we at Downdays are extremely saddened at the tragic loss of yet another of big mountain’s skiing’s brightest lights. Our thoughts are with Rapaport’s family and close ones during this difficult time.
