Pro Skier CR Johnson died today while skiing at Squaw Valley, California.

He apparently was wearing a helmet but according to officials died instantly. In recent years Johnson is best known for his comeback after suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2005, but he was known well before than as a two-time Winter X Games medalist and numerous other honors.
